Description Featuring Luc from Equira for no apparent reason. :3

I just decided to put this together to see the differences between my most-used shading styles... it was pretty interesting to do.

I'd have to say the dodge/burn style is my favorite. how did you get it to look so good? I didn't even know you could do that with a burn/dodge tool...

lol thanks!
It really depends on which brush you use.. for that one I used the airbrush that "solidifies" the harder you add pressure.. though I use a wacom tablet of course. that and practice. ^^

Very true. The NPL one or the default look really labor intensive. I don't think I'd have the patience to do that.

yeah the NPL one takes the longest, but it's one of my favorites. XD
