If you like this tutorial or do not like it, please take some time to tell me why so I will know how to make any future tutorials! Thanks :D:heart: And thank you for all your favs, it makes me happy that anyone could find any help from this at all, I am so sorry I cannot visit all your pages and say thanks personally as it's become far too much work for this deviation ATM. Please know i still truly appreciate all the support! :heart:

Here is my attempt at explaining how to shade things :O

Again inspired by lots of art I see where the same mistakes are being made a lot by many many artists. Most tutorials I see are about how to shade in a certain "style" or how things look like if they are shaded like. Like, here's a cube, shaded! UNDERSTAND?

Of course not @_@, it takes lots of practice to understand things like that, not a simple tutorial. So my goal with this was to equip beginners with the concepts needed to examine how things are shaded and WHY things are shaded. With this, i hope people can begin to practice on their own and work their brains on shading and 3D forms, and apply it to their own art :O.

Check out the other BASIC Basics:


---------------------------------------------

THE ONLY TUTORIAL ON COLORING I RECOMMEND AT THE MOMENT AFTER YOU'VE MASTERED THESE BASICS IS THIS ONE: [link]



It is FANTASTIC, but i realize it is of little use if you do not understand the very FUNDAMENTALS of lighting and shadow, so once you get it, please check that one out it's AMAZING

XD I laughed so hard when you showed what carbon would look like if he was shaded the way he was. "CARBON IS PREGGERS!"

XDD Thanks so much for the tutorials! I love them!

I would love to be able to print this off as it is really helpful but can only get the first part. Any ideas. Thanks

hmm i'm guessing you mean to print it at a legible size your printer only prints the image as one page and stops?

I would say open the file up in an image editor and just crop it out into page sized chunks and print each one? I don't mind what you do with the file as long as it's for personal use :)

Yes its only for personal use. My work area is not near my computer and my memory is not that good so would be handy to have it on the desk in front of me when creating.
Thanks for the solution I will give that a try
