Wolf drawing help for ShadowWolf894

Stage 4, shading
Shading can be quite difficult because you need to be able to picture where your source of light is coming from. So as an example to show you, I drew yellow lines to show the direction the light is travelling.
You add a new layer in between the lines layer and the colour layer. The opacity of the layer should be around 23% depending on how light or dark the colours on your wolf are. Using the lines of light as a guide, you can then shade the areas that would normally be shadowed in real life.
Afterwards, you then take off the guides of light direction :)

That's the end :)

Hope it helped :D

Suffering serious art block D: So many apologies if you have a pending commission! I'm trying to get over it as quickly as I can, but my brain is in a writing mood.
