Step By Step for how I shade skin. The best advice I can give is to treat your drawings/paintings like a sculpture. Everything slowly molding together and coming into focus

What brush should I be using and what detailed settings (in Photoshop)?

I use the default circle brush with pen pressure on and right click to toggle the hardness and softness of the brush

I do have a question for you! When you're upping the contrast of your colors and adding some strong dynamic shading, how do you place the shadows/colors? Like, when you go from step 3 to 4 and add in the black! I never make it past the step 3 phase because I'm terrified of strong shadows since I don't get em

I would treat it like you're shining a lamp on it. The direction of the light determines shadow placement. So since the edges/ back of the arm are not really in light at all, it'll be in really dark shadow. Shade until it looks right

And also, the word "tutorial" is an umbrella term. Not all tutorials are in depth. This would be a more medium to advanced tutorial. Nothing is going to be handed free. But yes, it's a step by step, which essentially, it is a tutorial since it does shed light on the process.
I'll be making an indepth one soon.
Thank you very much c: hope you can take as much as you can from it. Once I get my life problems situated I'll start my YouTube and make videos.
