Thanks for advice! You’re absolutely right about the cigarette. I also tried to create a shadow for it but it didn’t work well. So I think I need to get into masking. By the way, is there a possibility to fit clothes, hair and so on on characters you show from the side-perspective? Because until now I can only create characters from a frontal perspective…

Shadows, sideways clothes, fitting objects, all of that becomes possible with masking and special ‘constructions.’ You can build legs and fingers and such out of heads, for example. If you need examples of such ‘misuses,’ you can also check out the OPMC, started by ams. We do that a lot over there. You’re probably already ready for a ‘movie poster’ contest if it comes back to the blog.
