Description ... Hey, how do you add a preview image?

Anyway, this is a very simple tutorial that I made for a friend. If you're looking for something in-depth, this isn't it.

The tutorial, as well as the anonymous chibi wolf in it, belong to me, .

Finally! Simple and educational! When I was searching it was really complicated like "this is circlism!If you blend it together blah blah blah..." This is simple and easy to follow! Thank you!!

Thanks! I'm glad you like it, and hope you get use out of it!

Yeah, I know. Most tutorials I find are just the artist showing what THEY do - so quite a few of them start with "okay, you use this non-free art program". It's useful to someone that has the program and skills in question, but for a beginner it's horrible.

Finally, a simple tutorial to teach you WHERE to put the shadows, not just techniques to color them. Thanks!

Thank you!

I made it for someone who isn't sure at all how to shade, and thus left his pictures unshaded. So it wouldn't be good to have a large and detailed tutorial about how I shade things... Thus why I made a basic one that doesn't describe a particular way, but allows you to use any method you want.

I'm beginning to think that it's impossible to add preview images anymore. X___x;;

This is pretty good! Just the raw basics...
I really should add a second shading tone to my art, lol. When I cell shade I only have one shading tone.

Good tutorial! ^_^

Thanks!

There are so many shading tutorials, but all that I've seen go through everything in too much detail and they pick complicated pictures and, well... When you're struggling with doing a handstand, anything they tell you about breakdancing just isn't going to be remembered.

Hmm, so you don't know how to make a preview image either? You can put one up for a piece of writing, but I honestly don't know how whether you can put one up for a picture anymore.

No probs!

Good point. Raw basic tutorials aren so rare, yet their so helpful. =/ There really needs to be more tutorials like it.

I don't think there is a way. D: I honestly don't.
You must have preview images for flashes, .GIFs larger than 100x100 pixels, and you have the option for liturature. Besides that, no preview images...
