Description WARNING: VERY LARGE FILE!

Well, as this was requested, I finally got around to it. Now you know how I colour shade.
Edit:// Per suggestion of ~gingley , when shading, try texturizing to make it look non-rubbery, when shading animals.

As requested in tutorial, let me know if you use this method at any time!

Ignore any spelling mistakes, I blame my typing method This was done in MS paint, with the art done in oekaki.

I found one. "ork" should be "work"

And here is the oekaki tutorial(I apologize for my handwriting): [link]

I hope this is somewhat helpful, and enjoy!

Art, tutorial, etc. (c)

This tutorial will be a huge help. I've always loved painting in MsPaint but wasn't exactly sure how to go about doing the multi-tonal thing. Mine always looked ridiculous so I've mostly stuck with Photoshop.
Now I'll be able to give colour variation a shot in MsPaint again.

I always loved the colors you choose to mix together. They always work so well :>

One thing I might like to say about you shading, however, is that when you shade like this on animals, it gives them a rubbery look. One thing you can do is add fur texture so it looks more natural

Hehe, thank you!

Mmm, I considered that, but there's little room between shades for texturizing. but I should actually try it sometime.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Ah, I see. Maybe you can use maybe half the shaded to add texture. It still would look blended because of the texture.

You're welcome!
