Do you use a black for shadows or do you use a pallate?

I honestly don't remember what I did back in the time I made this tutorial, but nowadays I usually use purples and blues for shadows.

This is very interesting. The way you shade is similar yet different compared to how I do it, especially the use of hard edged brushes scares me, lol, I always use soft edged ones otherwise it looks ugly, but your results don't look like that at all! I think I'll try it your way, see what happens. Also...that brush uses pressure for opacity?? All this time I wished for a feature like that, and I had it all along!! *headdesk*

I used to be scared of it too 
And yep, there is such a brush, *Losmios pointed it out in her tutorial

I fully intended to try something with the hard edged brush but chickened out and went for the soft brush after all. I do still want to try though because now that I pay attention to it I see that more people do this, and it does look promising.
I did use the brush that uses pressure for the opacity though and wow! It takes some serious getting used to, but I'm seeing possibilities here! Fun ^_^

i just have one question... i have a wacom instuos3 tablet that's supposed to have pressure sensitivity, but even when i check the box to have tablet pressure control opacity, it doesn't do a thing. it's like working with a mouse, honestly... do you know how i might fix that? i have adobe photoshop elements 8.0, if that's any help. thanks for your time =]

Uhm, I don't have a wacom myself (I have Trust), but maybe in the controls of the tablet itself can you put a setting differently?
Seriously though, I dunno... sorry

Thank you! 
(btw; the smooth-comment I just made will make more sense should I ever do a wolf-shading tutorial)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha ha, yes, that would make more sense with wolves, horses rarely have shaggy coats!...Though that could be kind of cool...

Haha, yeah, it would, wouldn't it

You only shade with black and white? I need to try this. I have my shading methode now but it take so long and it's really bad for horse with many colors or weird markings like Sarge. I hope this helps me out and save a lot of time
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, usually not true black and white, but some colour in it, but yeah
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I need that, but I don't have it
Ow, I tried it, but it failed ... a lot. See my new picture. I really need to practise it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, that is a problem
I'll go check!

Thanks!
What do you mean better than you thought though? My previous one wasn't that bad, was it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, but I've read so many shading tuts that I was expecting something generic, like a lot of them. This wasn't though!
