Description
A Flygon I've been intermittently colouring. This is my first attempt at drawing one, and it's actually quite fun to draw - I have two other sketches that I may or may not have drawn in the middle of some very boring parts of class (though I was listening to what was being said, don't worry...).The shading's a little off. I think I'm going to find a better way to shade than dodging and burning the socks off something, sometime.

Very nice! Clear, smooth, vivid, great coloring and lineart. Even the shading's pretty good, though I hope you find a better way to do it.

Thanks! I've discovered lately that Flygon are extremely fun to draw, actually - I might do another one in a completely different pose after exams.

I'll look forward to seeing what I come up with, too! Guess what? About three and a half weeks, maybe, and then YEAR ELEVEN IS OVER! WHOOO!

Wow, cute. Very clean and nice shading job! Awesome job, Pseudinymous!
...just so you know, you'll have to pick a short, easier-to-spell nickname soon or I'm going to create one for you. I love your name, but I can't spell it for the life of me.

Thanks so much, Cori!
Ahh, yes, t'is a little long, isn't it? You can call me Pseudi, if you like.

Pseudi?
...we shall see. I have a feeling I'll come up with something appropriate. 
Huh. *contemplates*

It looks adorable! The coloring looks good, and you did well with the dodge and burn. other coloring techniques in photoshop take SO LONG. It's silly.

It's hard to go wrong with dodging and burning.
It takes FOREVER. XD

Unless you're inexperienced and don't use large enough brushes.

True. True.

It does, it's just difficult to avoid that ashy blackening effect when you just want a darker tone of the colour instead. This is why I want to change techniques, mainly.

I rather like the shading on this.
If you want to try other modes, I suggest you experiment. Or search for a tutorial.
I once read that doodling in class helps you concentrate. Because it stops your mind from going "Too boring, shut down and sleep" without distracting you so much that you don't pay attention. Unless you are like me.

Thanks. 
I read that too, but it often translates to teachers as "not paying attention". It works for me, and so I believe I'll begin making a habit of it.

Yep, see what works!
Also, look at images you like and try and guess how they do theirs. I only really improved my shading after observing how it was done in El Goonish Shive .
Yeah, that is annoying how they think that.

I've sort-of moved on to working on cell-shading, but I would certainly like to practice smooth shading sometime. I guess I'll find some picture sometime when I feel like going back to my old ways.

Well, see what suits you best!
