I FINALLY got this finished. :faint: So yep, heres my first tutorial. :'D I was actually kind of reluctant to do a tutorial because half of the time I don't even know what I'm doing, but I hope some of you find this helpful. ^^ And please ignore my crappy side doodles. Its not the best tutorial and I know that there's probably a lot of better shading tutorials out there, but danggit I tried okay. D: If you find any typos or mistakes, please tell me and I'll fix it. C:

Keep in mind that this is only MY way of shading. There are a bajillion other ways to shade too, so find the one that best suits your style!

If you have any questions or if you're confused about something, don't be afraid to tell me! :D


EDIT: THIS THING ACTUALLY GOT ON THE POPULAR PAGE?? ADSFSFLSKG

This is amazing!
(If I DO get a drawing tablet for my B-Day this can help me!)
I also love how 3-Dimensional it looks!

I really need to learn how to shade better and this will help me greatly. I never thought of using the lines to make a sort of 3D image to get a better idea of where to shade. That is totally gonna help me out. Hopefully my next pic will look different and better than before. Thanks so much for posting this! I use Paint Tool SAI so I'm sure I can use this. Also, You is awesome!
