Description How to get that 3-D look but sharpening the contrast of your edges. LOL, I dunno, this probably doesn't help anyone, but aside from actually lighting things properly, this is my cheat to make things look more tangible.

Wonderful work, as always. Adore the background, the softness of it, and most of all the snake. I don't know why, but the snake just adds that little extra.

Wrong comment. Actually, right comment on wron picture. I was referring to the picture and not the tutorial. -_______-
The tutorial is amazing, but you already knew THAT.

While, I definitely have to try that technique out. Now that I look at the whole picture, I can see where you are utilizing this technique and it really does make things pop.

I'm really wondering do you use a blending tool? If you're not even using that than it's even more crazy than it is now
great job

Er... if you mean a digital blending tool no : ) But, if you mean traditionally, I use a blending stumps on my drawing... [link] If the drawing is really big, I might use toilet paper or chamois [link] . They're rather cheap.

Ye I meant the traditional one <: didn't even know there was a digital one
But uhm ye I was wondering bout that since I wasn't allowed to use a blending tool for my final still life drawing and I know what kind of a bitch that was...So ye was just wondering.

Thanks!
