Secrets? I have secrets?
Hehe, I don't really have any specil way of shading, I've been trying one style using white where the light hits. I'm not sure how to explain it, but I'll try. ^_^
Very lightly outline where you want your darkers shadows to be, and leave the area where the highlights are white.
Lightly color in the shadows, softly blending into the white highlights.
Take a darker color, and pressing hard, outline the darkest shadows.
Two choices here, you can lightly coloring in the darker shadows with the darker colored pencil, or press hard and blend the dark shadows into the lighter colored ones.
Not very well explained, but play around with it, you can get all sorts of different shading teqs just by how much pressure you use shading.
Thank you for all of you comments Li-Chan, I'll have to pop over to your gallery and comment some. ^_^
That pose very much suits this character. Very cool perspective! I'm still amazed by your shading technique. C'mon, share your secrets! I must know how you do it!
