Description
This was a request from Kammy . I hope you like it! ^_^It took approximatly 2 hours but that ok because I really enjoyed making it. Its a huge file so if you have a slow computer I suggest you go take a nap while waiting for it to load.
Remember the 3 basic rules:
Highlights
Midtones
Shadows
Maybe I'll make another tutorial in the future but I'm no expert at anything so perhaps not. Who knows?
^_^
Enjoy!
Click here to see the finished picture.
Note: I'm from England so we spell the word colour, not color like americans. So theres no need to tell me I can't spell. Ok? Just thought I'de point that out before anyone mentions it.
Edit: I just read it through and realized I've made 3 or 4 spelling mistakes. Please don't torture me about this. I swear it's still understandable.

Really?
I'm glad! Though I cant see how. It's so basic and simple. Looks like it was written by a 5 year old.
*sigh* I promise you good lord I shall never be content with my drawing ability.
But anyway if it helps you then I'm happy. ^_^ *huggles*

I really enjoyed your tutorial. I'm not good at all in shading, so it really helped me out.
And I really liked the pic too that came out in the end

Thank you very much. I'm happy if it helped you in any way. If you have trouble with shading just imagine where the light is coming from and make everything facing the oppiste direction darker. Thats the basic rule and the only one i know. I suck at shading too so dont feel bad. your not alone. (though I hate to admit it -_-. I want people to think I'm the best)

D'aww, you are too kind, Anita-san . . . Thank you very much! =^-^= However, I do not look at my colouring skills that way. I would love to improve much more. I know I can!

the UK is great! however if you wanna visit then bring a coat. it can get pretty chilly here. *shiver* its been raining non-stop the last 3 days. We even had a flood near the area i live in and 4 people were killed!
Of course you can improve! just gotta practise practise practise! god! i ahte that word. I'm so goddamn lazy I never do much practising. And I get all angry at myself when I draw something wrong. lol. Don't you just hate people like me? hehe!
Oh and thanks for the fav. Your comments mean a lot! ^_^ I collect praise like I collect money. Its so goddamn precious! so thanks.

^__^ Canada can get cold too . . . in the Winter and Fall, that is.
*hugs* I get angry at myself too. But my New Year's Resolution was to stop heavily critisizing myself, so my bad habit has broken a little.

Anyway it was England you gave America its language.
Why the heck did they go and change it?
And now they call it American English. Ticks me off.
but hey, I guess as long as you can understand it, its ok.
thank you very much for looking at my tutorial. ^_^
