how do i shade in kof style

so im trying to learn how to shade kofstyle id like to know how many colors I need the right values where the shade should be placed what type of colors to use the size of the chars should be and more pleas help

I'm not an expert in KOF style but so far I know, the light for the shading has to directly target to the character from diagonally above. (Don't light him/her behind) It's different from CVS style which only lights characters from straight above. For colors, if you want to use the colors from KOF, you need to have all KOF sprited characters for reference including those from NGBC and KOF 94-03 and KOFXI. Also, you need to look at them as reference for spriting. Here's a trick. If you want to create a KOF style, think about making characters look realistic, maybe like real life I think.

for ans use the same basic colors as capcom (4 for the custone, 4 for the flesh and 4 for the details) the more notable diffrence is the size and the colors, see my two kazuyas amigo, maybe this can help you

thank u guys any othter hints is apreasiated
