Description
I used paint tool SAI for this ~But it's mostly about color use, so any program could do
Step by step of the three techniques I use the most for shading !
plus some tips and tricks
no lines - fancy shading
This is mainly just putting on everything a gradient,, but I really like it ! I don't shade that often, but out of these three, I do this one the most atm.
It gives a nice sharp look, with the sharp corners, but with the gradient, it gets more soft
Lines - Fancy shading v1
I used to do this shading style a lot. But lately not at all anymore. Thats why the example is pretty old pff
but its a nice combi between gradient and shading. I want to use this technique again soon !
Lines - Fancy shading v2
Its a lot like the previous style. But also not. Theyre like bffs who buy the same clothes because they dont want to show up alone at school with that "risky" shirt. The biggest difference between the two is that I don't use gradient here. It gives it overall a less softer look. But I still really like it ! The example picture has a little bit of gradient, because I used the tip mentioned at the end ~
Hope it could help somehow ~
my brushes
another shading tutorial
As long as its understandable its fine ! no need to correct grammer

This was quite helpful! But I'm wondering, what does the Multiply-mode do?
Cause I don't see any difference in my "shading" o_o

multiply makes it somewhat transparent and darker. depends on what you have underneath.
Its especially very usefull when the layer underneath is a pattern, that way you can still see the pattern underneath the shading

I do like that last trick. We'd alter it with blue/ Orange, or red/green back when I did stuff, depending on what it was- but you had to tool around with it to find just the right one to get the effect you wanted.
