Shading Experiment Template

Postby Pure Dragon » Fri Jul 13, 2012 5:43 am

Have you had trouble finding a shading style that's right for you? Do you just need to practice shading? Short fur, long fur, light direction, realistic and stylistic shading, etc. can all be practiced on this template. This template was inspired by a really helpful tutorial by TamberElla on DeviantArt that gives you lots of shading tips. [Link] There are other helpful shading tutorials on their page too, so be sure to check out those as well. Anyways, rules:

~ All CS rules apply. ~
~ Do not alter, delete, or cover my signature. ~
~ Keep lineart edits to a minimum if you want to make them. ~
~ You are also free to use this as a portrait ref sheet for multiple charries. ~
~ This isn't really a contest-type editable, but if you really want to make a contest of it, go ahead. ~

. . . Can you read minds? Because I was just about to attempt to do something similar as practice.

Woot! Awesome sauce. Thanks, Pure!
Totally wasn't stalking your gallery.
Now, off to color/shade!

Rai-kun: Yup, I'll be gone for a while, guys. Ya know, movin' and all. :/ I might be back on after high school settles down, but we'll just have to see how everything pans out!

*fist pump* Yes! I knew it!

xD I'm working on it later. I've decided that I'm coloring each individual head with a different pattern. And then, I will turn each of those individual heads into a full-body design. Somehow.

But, its takin' me a while so it probably won't be posted anytime soon.
