The Rantings of an Art Crazed Chow, Second verse, same as the first.
Here I sit, at work, in front of the computer with a wip opened in photoshop. Flat color done, finishing touches and mistake fixing done, yet now I'm ready to shade and now I can't proceed any further cause I can't get the grasp of shading!!!
I went over the tutorial so many times I can do the steps in my sleep, yet when it comes to shading, it eludes me. Argh!!! I want to try and find one for Gimp since I have that at home, as well as one for Inkscape and Paint Shop Pro, but I'm at a loss here. No, I'm not asking for help, I should be able to get this, I am a person of average intelligence, and what little artistic skill I have should be able to get this with no problem.
So if you happen to glance at some of my work and wonder where the heck is the shading and why if there is any that it does not look right, well, it's dumb DNA at work. I might feel better if I print it out, pour mouse feces on it and piddle in some areas cause at the moment, that is how I feel, a generic copy with mouse crap and pee. Cheers to you folks, cause atm there is not cheer for the chow.

use a big brush and roughly apply shading where you think it should be.
then adjust the opacy of the level and make sure you shading layer is ontop.
opacy ruuules :) highlights is a diffrent story.
im clueless at photoshop sowi
then use photoshop as my colouring and final edit tool.
Gimp is almost as good as PS but it lacks a few tool that are essential for me.
Best of luck hon.
u are welcome silly doggie
