My first tutorial omg. I was working a month on this one, it's pretty hard for me to explain how I actually do my shading!
But here we are, JKoenegge just released her first tutorial.
I hope that I explained everything important.
Also, please forgive me for spelling mistakes, I am not a native speaker.
There is also a very very very bad speedpainting of this drawing... bad quality and bad video, it's also my first one but who wants to watch it anyways, here we go: www.youtube.com/watch?v=f60dYa…
Also, PLEASE give me a feedback! This is my first tutorial ever, what can I do better, what do you like about it? And don't forget to link me your attempts!

The tutorial is easy to understand, and works for other dark structures to, but I came to notice a little thing,
and please don't hate my, I've worked with some horses, and the fur is pretty reflective.
So, for example the finished picture in this case would probably mainly be in the brown/dark brown region.
May I suggest you add a bit of that too, and the intersection with the background?

you can use it for any color but consider that a bay has more shades than a black one (black/greyish muscles, legs, bright belly, neck,....) like here:
I usually use different shades for the bay parts because one are darker and other brighter x.x it's pretty difficult for me, still learning how to shade bays and others
But I use the same technique as described in the tutorial :3

I love the way your shading looks like!
Are you using different layers for each color? I mean, 1 layer for big shades, 1 layer for detailed shades, 1 layer to lighten something and 1 layer for detail lightning?

I am always using a different layer and in the end, I may merge them down and blur the hard edges so all layer fit perfect :3
