You tips will really help me, because I had zero idea how to shade.

This is great!!!!! It's such a brilliant and efficient way to shade!!!!
I've got only one question. Do you use specific shading color depending on the original color, and color separately? Or do you just use one color for all the area you want to shade, and adjust its opacity later?
Thank you so much for sharing the tips!!!

A black objecgt is never 100 % solid black unless its some crazy nonreflective substance, but you can barely find that in real nature xD so yes ofcourse it applies to black. Go look at your black clothing in different lights and you can see it for yourself :3

so you make black dark grey

xD no, go study what black looks like in different lights, its not dark grey, dark grey is dark grey

hey there! i really like your tutorials! can you make a tutorial on how you make your own style of pets?
in this gallery of yours:

it means, a tutorial of their anatomy!

Its not a good way to learn anatomy off of other artists since you also learn their mistakes, study real animals and simplify them from there

I followed your advice and made a shading experiment;

Do you choose the colour of the shadows according to the background, or do you just choose a random colour that compliments the object's colours?Β

it also helps to put the shading layer on multiply, right? because that's what I do all the time ;w;

For just a basic shadow, how transparent do you put your shadows layer?
π: 0 β©: 1
xD Ipaint the shadows on the character, I dont use shadow layers on flash art. I choose the shadow colors myself just the way I choose the colors of the markings :3
