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

I promise you this will be my last comment of the day, thats good because I worked these fingers to the bone just typing all day. ._.
But so far when you said you doubted yourself and that you failed on the whole realism shading I thought "she's putting too much critizism on herself, she's doing awesome at all this professional shit! I didn't even know how to do this crap two seconds ago!?"

Aww I really like reading your comments though! xD Yeah a lot of people say I'm too hard on myself, but I really can't help myself sometimes. I really can't see myself as special or anything no matter how hard I try. ^^;
Its probably cuz of my low self esteem issues. ._.
