That $50 art tutorial bundle from a guy on YouTube actually saved my shading game

Tbh I almost ignored it because the thumbnail looked like something a middle schooler made. But the guy kept saying to layer my shadows in 3 specific tones instead of just blending everything into mud. I tried it on my latest piece and honestly my character actually looks like they have volume now. Has anyone else found random small creators who just drop absolute gems like that?

Does the same idea work for using a lightbox to trace tricky shadows?

Trace shadows with a lightbox, now you're just cheating the universe's vibe.
