Hello! I’m Inviduals, and just recently got accepted into the DevForums. I have been designing for almost a year now and I’d say I’ve improved a lot! I recently found a new way of designing my outfits with realistic shading.
I’m not sure if I’m over doing my outfit too much though!
This is a recent design I’ve put together in less than a day ( I finished this design in less than a day because I was preparing this before hand. hehe ). It’s a men’s wear outfit.
Please tell me what you guys all think of my recent design. It is appreciated! Please use constructive criticism though!

The shading is too harsh. In shading, you shouldn’t be able to see the black. I advise changing the layer to overlay or soft light and smudging/ blurring the lines, then lower the opacity. You also shouldn’t use black to shade, but there is an exception. You should highlight the shading with white or a lighter colour of the base. Same with shading; use a darker colour of the base.
However, I like how you have made the shirt and shoes; they seem to have an extent of detail.
This is a good attempt at realistic shading but there are areas for improvement. Next time you should compare your old design to your latest.
