This lesson is all about giving your Posca art that clean cel-shaded look — the kind of simple shadow and highlight technique that makes your characters feel more finished without overcomplicating things. And we’re doing it with a flying saucer that’s full of wonky charm.
Here’s what we cover:
- Guidelines in pen to build confidence and stop leaning on pencil
- Shape shadows to add depth fast
- Cutting back in with lighter colours for crisp highlights and shadows
- Cast shadows to make the whole piece pop
- The double wonky line, it's easier to draw and makes everything look better
This is a great one if you’re new to Poscas or if your colouring tends to look “flat” rather than intentional. And don’t stress about matching colours — you just need a light and a dark version of each colour you choose. That’s what makes cel-shading work.
If you want a simple win that boosts your Posca confidence, start with this.
