DTA#1: Do not shade in gray.

Shade with a color, preferably ambient color. If you can't identify what the ambient color should be, default it to the general color of the ground, or closest surrounding. Alternatively experiment with other colors that complement or contrast the colors of the character.



;D If you guys like this I'll throw more short tips once in a while. Also if anyone wants me to expand on "why" I'm suggesting to do or not do something, tell in the comments and I'll respond 0v0!
