Can anyone answer this for me? It can be whisp or anyone that knows how!
So I love the look of flat coloring like this. But it doesn't lookΒ flat. How does that happen? Is it because of the thin lines and the way she colors the line art? Or the slight air brushing to the face?
Every time I do it, the image just doesn't look finished. This looks complete and lovely. How's that work?Β

solid structure and perspective along with detailed lineart. my line are actually quite varied ( thicker where things overlap, thinner where no overlap exists ) and I use very very subtle gradients which make things look more finished? lolol i dont know i just like lineart and flat colors xD

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! I noticed you always use strong perspective and gradients, but I didn't know they were key to this look o:

The girl's legs on the right look smaller than the girls legs on the left to make that illusion of dimension but appearing 'flat' because the lines don't have a varying thickness. You'd think that things farther away would have thinner lines but that isn't the case here.
Even though the legs are further away they're still the same line width which gives it that 2D look. Notice how the lines have relatively the same width throughout it (I'd say there are two line thicknesses in this piece, with the smaller lines being the wrinkles in the clothes but as I said theres not much of a difference), so very varying line thickness isn't in play with this specific piece.
I think the flatness does come from the lineart and cell shade.

I think it has to do with the lineart being detailed (I mean, whispwill's lines are beautiful), the shading of the faces, and also the color palette.
I believe that restraining a color palette gives flat coloring a life and style that it wouldn't have otherwise. Maybe that's why it doesn't look unfinished, because we can subconsciously perceive it's a stylistic choice.
I may be completely wrong though.

I think it's the line (they are small) and she put shade on the skin (on the face I think)

I love them both so much.
Love the colour by the way, your colours recently have been so popping and eyecatching.
