Vent: Someone said my digital portraits looked 'flat'...
They told me to add a subtle color bounce layer from the background, so I tried it on a piece in Procreate. Does anyone have other tricks for adding depth without overdoing it?

Adding a soft light layer for rim lighting works wonders too, idk.

That's a solid tip, but it's easy to overdo it and flatten the whole image. The real trick is keeping that layer on a very low opacity, like 10% or less. It should just hint at the shape, not blast it with light. A lot of folks crank it up and lose all the depth they just painted in.
