Tips on Drawing Reflections?


PacificGreen

Recommended Posts

The next comic I'm making in my series has two characters standing next to a window, in an almost profile point of view. I want their reflections to be visible in the window, so does anyone know of a good method or of any tutorials that can help me create a convincing reflection?

 

If you want me to upload pics, let me know.

Pictures would be dank man, that way I can be more precise about what needs to be said.

 

until then: you have a reflection, it will be translucent in some areas and non-existent in the areas where the planes of the character's body are directly facing the light source. Keep in mind the law of reflection. This will help you correctly position you drawing in spacetime.

Thanks. Here is what I am trying to draw:post-35320-0-49675600-1462407107_thumb.jpg

 

Bon Bon and Lyra walk by a window and Lyra notices her reflection (which I drew by the faint lines slightly to the left of their bodies/heads).

 

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Are Lyra and BonBon outside? Is there going to be anything visible through the window?

 

Yes, they are outside. Nothing is going to be visible through the window (yet)
