Description On my Easter Break weeks ago I kinda wonder if I should be doing something that's kinda helpful, and so since I haven't made any tutorial for ages I think I'd make one.
But due to SAI I no longer do any Photoshop filter trickery things, so I wonder what's left for me to make tutorials of.

So I decided to just do this random explain-ery things about how I do shadings for general digital paintings.

By any means this would not be the best shading tutorial in DA, and by "advanced" it doesn't mean "hard" - It's just that I don't want to bother going through anything too basic.

I personally reccomend you to also check this amazing shading tutorial because it changed my life. >> [link] <<

So, hope you find this useful in whatever way.

Tutorial from yours sincerely *RadenWA .

Thanks for this tutorial. Especially for not bending down to the level of individual clicks in someone else's choice of software, but stick to the concepts. Very useful!

I eould like to know how to get chadine so soft, and to blend easily like yours, my stuff usually ends up rpugh, or overworked any tips on that?

RadenWA In reply to Emerald-Glaceon [2012-05-22 06:19:24 +0000 UTC]

First of all, what's a "chadine"? I suspect you mean "outline", yeah?

RadenWA In reply to Emerald-Glaceon [2012-05-22 14:38:24 +0000 UTC]

Oh. Well, what software do you use? Many softwares have the option to use soft brushes and they make the soft shades. Of course, if you're not using a tablet, you won't get the same result as people who do.
