Description


THIS IS ONLY A GUIDE. YOU CAN MODIFY ANY OF THE STEPS MENTIONED IF YOU CAN READ MY HANDWRITING IN THE FIRST PLACE. DO NOT THNIK THAT THIS IS THE ONE AND ONLY METHOD OF SHADING.
Thank you.

Also, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FAVE THIS BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD IT. IF THE NUMBER OF DOWNLOADS EXCEED THE NUMBER OF FAVOURITES ON THIS, I SHALL DISABLE THE DOWNLOAD. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Anyway, as promised, a tutorial on pencil shading. Done in about 3+ hours, all on a piece of A4 size paper. Watermarks/signatures or whatever you call them were added in digitally, small enough but still noticible I hope. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL IMAGE AND I SHALL BRING IT ALONG WITH ME AT ALL TIMES. IF YOU DARE TO STEAL THIS, JUST GO FUCK YOURSELF CAUSE I WILL HAVE LIVING PROOF, THANK YOU. (and I'm only adding all of this in cause I enabled the download for those who need it.)

Anyway, if you can read my handwriting, good for you. If not, don't bother asking me what it says. My shading isn't all that's cracked up to be. Plus, I actually want as little people to know about how to shade like this. Unfortunately for me, there will be more people shading my "trademark" now. *sigh*
Be happy guys, be happy.

Any questions on how to apply this method to other mediums will be entertained, so long as its not mentioned in this tutorial itself. All others shall be replied with a stupid and retarded answer. Yay.

Tools used:
My patience.
A 2B mech. pencil.
An A4 size paper.
My time which was supposed to be spent on homework/playing my Sims 3 game.

Red, the girl (yes its a girl) used as the "simple headshot" in here belongs to me.

It's so hard to find tutorials around here that aren't for photoshop, GIMP or SAI! I have none of them, I just use pencils etc, so it's good to find a clear tut like this one. ^_^
