... As promised

Several people asked me to draw this

Okay, I didn't really get to shade in this part, but I will, eventually, in the upcoming ones

I really hope you enjoy this part in the meantime, it took me long to research for all this stuff and I'm glad to know it helps you!

Sooooo, yeah, I was going to write something more, but I forgot what it was

silver-moonwolf [2012-11-02 16:34:20 +0000 UTC]

this was very helpful to me for a beginning to shade better ^^ and to be honest, i did not see this until today but i drew a really awesome Pokemon battle picture with extremely deep shading so that i could practice, and this just seems ironic to me XD but i cannot wait until the next parts!!!

Liquid-Ruby [2012-11-01 17:39:12 +0000 UTC]

Amazing tutorial!
Usually I find shading tutorials saying "use this brush, pick this color, shade", without really explaining where and how to put the shadows and lightings. I'm looking forward to the rest of your tutorial

ARVEN92 In reply to Liquid-Ruby [2012-11-02 20:52:49 +0000 UTC]

Oh my, thank you so much! <3 I am glad you enjoyed it!

And yes, I totally wanted to avoid that XD I'll get to that point eventually, but only after I've explained how and why shadows must be placed in a certain way

Truly thank you! <3 Your comment made my day
