Description Well, there ya go. That's how I do it.

If you use this tutorial I'd like to see the results, please!

There's no tricks to shading-- you just need to practice it, and observe the way light interacts with objects in real life. There's no other way to do it, simple as that.

One thing I forgot to mention is that I have a tablet. That helps me with photoshop a lot.

The page I used as an example is GOTF issue 6, page 4, I think...

Feel free to ask me for clarification, if you need it. I'm happy to help.

Hope this helps!

Sure it is-- in fact, I'll work much better. You'll have way more options.

THANK YOU! *cough* I suffer from fan girl spasms too. I’ll have to try this out, although the air brush tool still baffles me. My sister and I have Photoshop Elements 2.0 and the settings basically look the same as yours. It’s just the air brush tool . . . maybe the settings are off, I’m not sure. Anyway, thank you and let the insanity continue.

Wow this might actually be useful.

Well the first 4 steps anyway. Over shinyness is not necessary for the shading I want to do

EvanStanley In reply to doveblacksmith [2009-02-11 02:59:49 +0000 UTC]

It should be, but I've never used that program much. Just look through the icons in the tool bar and right-click on everything 'till you find the paint bucket. It's there somewhere...

"It'll be a date to DIIEEEE for"

I already do the quoting part of the side effects.

Thanks for the tutorial! I'll make sure to try and add it in to my work!
