So
Lots of you wanted a tutorial on how i do my bad shading :'D
So here it is <3
Cause i love you -3-

~ Basics ~

When shading, don't just stick shading anywhere. Find your lightsource. What i usually do is draw a circle where my lightsource is coming from.

Don't add big splashes of shading, make it smaller. It gives a more natural look. Cause look at the difference between these two

The second one has a more natural look
Now i'm not saying you can't add alot of shading. If it matches the situation its ok. But if you are just doing normal shading then i'd stay away from doing this

When shading small places, like under a necklace i usually just use the pencil tool and trace the outline.
An example

It makes it look smaller but it is still quite visible. It adds a little effect but not overdoing it.

And finally when adding shine.
Well i don't have uch to say because i often don't. But i add a little on the nose and cheeks, thats all i add.

~Cherri style time~

So, in most places i have two different shades.

It adds more effect and makes it look more natural in my opinion

On clothes i shade around the folds
Sometimes adding a little bit connecting them. But i don't do very much on clothes.

On the hair
I just go to paint.net take a color that is visible but not too flashy like a pastel pink
Then i just add a white line in the middle and choose gaussian blur

Eyes are hard to explain but here is an example

The shape of the eye depends on the character i'm drawing

~Extra tips~

If the mane, clothes, etc. are far away from the body the shade will be larger
You could try dittering, it makes it look like there is a third color, but it takes alot of time
Don't use too dark colors
Have fun

So i hope you liked my crappy tutorial on how i do shetty shading :^)
I hope you understood a small amount of this lol
Please do not steal this.
