Description
Well I certainly have my limitations, but I thought I'd make a "tutorial" of what I've picked up so far.I'm slowly working my way up to a proper colorpencil-specific tutorial but I'm not sure what I ought to focus on (do you have suggestions or requests?). Besides that, I find general tutorials to be more useful than style specific ones.

Not to say that you can't make beautiful art without naturalistic lighting.
And yes, there's a lot more to Color Theory than just shading stuff.
***EDIT***
I've added 4b, an extention to Proximity Lighting, which talks about depth.
I've added 4.5 which I shall call Meta-Shape. Rmember to consider the image as a whole. You're not just shading limbs and characters, you're shading the larger mass of your composition.

Funny. I usually know you by pretty elaborate traditional drawings with some really kick-ass shading. You´d be one of the last for me to think of making a tutorial for a digital. If you´d make the same thing for traditional, it´d be, I believe, a great help for many.

It is funny. I certainly don't consider myself a good digital artist, but I figured it would be easier to do the variations digitally rather than by hand (I also wanted to see what they might look like if I combined the variations, and it came out much better than I thought it would).
And even though I used digital this time, if I make a traditional tutorial, then we'll see exactly why this is as much a traditional tutorial as it is digital. This is kind of what I had to learn before I could do what I do in colorpencil. I generally find that switching media is relatively inconsequential, because they all use the same artistic principles.
Anyways, thanks for the vote of confidence. I've been warming up for a tutorial, but I suspect we'll see a few more things like this before I do a proper colorpencil tutorial.

I can only repeate myself with asking you to do that colour pencil tutorial some time soon, for I´d really love to know how the hell you do those things you do. That would really be a mighty deed from you as it would guide us through a really inovative technique.
