Doodles/sketching shadows

[newfiemountiewife]

Yay or nay?

My thoughts are, if it's "drawn" on the paper, like a doodle,then you wouldn't need to shadow it, right? But I've seen people shadow them, and also people not shadowing. What do you do?

I don't shadow doodles. I suppose I might if it were an alpha like the one in La's Skippy Doo Da kit. Otherwise, I consider them "flat" because they are hand-drawn.

I don't shadow them unless they are like a sticker, with a white border.

 

[lauren grier]

depends...sometimes I do.. sometimes I don't LOL.. not like huge honkin shadows.. but I def do if they're on a sticker border or some other sort of cut out paper doodad

 

[newfiemountiewife]

Ok, that's what I've been doing, if they are a "sticker" type thing, then yes, but if not no. Thanks!

sometimes I pretend that I've doodled it on a piece of paper and cut it out and adhered it to the layout, in that case, I do shadow it. Depends on my mood! LOL

I think I've done both . . . if it's not a sticker I still might put a teeny shadow on it to make it more noticeable. (plus I feel compelled to shadow almost everything . . . even already shadowed elements )

 

[newfiemountiewife]

I want to shadow everything too, that's why I asked LOL

I *try* to think about how it would be if I paper scrapped it, kwim? But since I only ever paper scrapped a couple of bad pages, I'm not really sure sometimes LOL

I don't shadow doodling...it would be like shadowing your journaling, which you wouldn't do either Though I HAVE seen people do it (shadow their font title or journaling?) ....it always is off-putting for me. Sometimes I do shadow preshadowed elements though, so IKWYM.

HA! See, I don't shadow journaling, but I almost always shadow a title font because I think of it as a cut-out title from my paper days. Especially if I layer it over something... in that case, I always shadow since I'm going for the cardstock effect.

For me it depends on the doodles, sometimes I like to think that i cut out the doodles and adhere it to my layouts so I shadow them a bit. If it's a more fine doodle like crayon or watercolor type then I don't shadow at all.

Sometimes I shadow, sometimes I don't. I don't shadow journaling.. not that I do much of it, but when I do, I don't shadow.

I don't shadow doodles, if they are just a doodle, if they are a sticker I'll put a shadow on it. My thought is, if I would draw it on with pen, marker, crayon, etc, it wouldn't shadow naturally, so I'm not going to shadow it digitally.

I do, but it's always a very small with with maybe distance set to 1 and opacity set to 10.

 

[ditzyscrap]

I shadow doodles, but that's because coming from paper scrapping, I never doodled on my paper...I would use rub-ons or something, or they'd be cut from another paper and put down, so there would be shadows.

I sometimes shadow my title (depending on what it is) and never shadow my journaling.

That's exactly how I see it.

 

[ZaCola3]

I always shadow my doodles too. It very small with a small offset and I usually shadow most everything in black, just lower the opacity.

I don't shadow doodles. But i'm surprised, because i'm obsessed with shadowing, lol. but i've learned to do it by hand (well, w/o using the Drop Shadow menu) for like bent looking frames and stuff. Now i cant stop!
