In my last journal I created a shader. I've also been trying to achieve the same type of shading in my drawings, unfortunately it doesn't work. I'd use my calculator to determine the color values, the blend them together, but it's not that simple, the result is terrible, despite the shader producing decent output. I literally use the same exact calculations.

I've also devised a method of drawing characters, as you can see in my "cheeb tutorial with belleh". The method has had no problems other than dynamically posing, which is difficult with the method I use.

I've also been discouraged by my mom, regarding something she said, but that's for another journal.
