Honestly I've seen a lot of shading tutorials, but only this one I found useful. Here're some new tricks (like with hair) I haven't known.
A great example picture, nice explanation and what-to-do & what-not-to-do hints. Thanks a lot fot this tutorial - it already helped me.

It's nice to see people giving advice to their mysterious ways and demonstrating their secrets. While not an artist, I can certainly appreciate the effort giving this advice!

Exarrdian In reply to DBomber [2009-08-09 12:31:30 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Lord Bunny!
I`m hesitant to give advices since.. well uhh I never studied art and stuff > >;;;; Jenx is much better at constructive criticism even if he is too brutal at times. I like to experiment till it all looks good to me. Of course I used to abuse the dodge and burn tool in the past as well and now my eyes hurt whenever I look at these pics XD;;

There are some flaws.. lol Jenx pointed the shoulder`s shade should be darker but I didn`t really have a specific light source in mind as there`s no background/scene lol TTa

just-joey In reply to ??? [2009-08-08 19:52:57 +0000 UTC]

Awesome! I'll have to try out your hair highlighting technique sometime. XP

And call me crazy, but the gradient version actually looks kinda cool too. Like for a special effect or something.
