Description I'm usually pretty terrible at shading.. so i thought i would give it another go.
It's difficult to make it not look dramatic, but after Paul helped me by telling me to remove some of the more human shaded parts, im quite happy with the result.

Not sure which of these is better, i think i prefer the one on the right for animation, but the one on the left for drawings and stuff.. but what do you guys think?

MochaTheDog [2011-07-13 12:38:49 +0000 UTC]

Well I like the left one for pictures because I usually blur my shading xD actually thats what I always do. LOL
But the right one is good for animations. It's easier for you And more noticeable for animations.

Falljoydelux [2011-06-29 01:23:11 +0000 UTC]

The block shading one is great for animation, true, and the blended shading is great for drawings, but the problem is:

I can't help but notice the face isn't shaded. If it's like that, the face looks flat. Don't take it the wrong way, I love your comics and animations without the shadings, but if anything, shade the face too.

CrmsnKtsne [2009-06-06 04:27:28 +0000 UTC]

Keep it all like the cel-shading on the right.

When people just blur shading that they had already laid down as flat, it doesn't look so great.

If you're going to do soft-shading, lay it down soft.

Thunderkid69 [2009-06-03 18:01:39 +0000 UTC]

right for animation
left for drawing

thats what i think

Foxer35 [2009-06-03 11:16:51 +0000 UTC]

The right shading is a lot more well defined, while the left is more abstract and cartoony. So yeah, I'd agree that the right shading would be better-suited for animations.

Doodlz18 [2009-06-03 04:37:02 +0000 UTC]

the right for the animation
and the left for the drawing and such
you can even also use the right for drawing
too

Durekeh1 [2009-06-03 02:47:56 +0000 UTC]

The one in the right for animations and the one on the left would be for drawings and comics like you said...
