Heh, sorry about reposting this same pic for the third time, but I'm *really* trying to work on my shading. :P I moved the other shading pic to scraps, so I don't clog things up too much. This is the closest I've come to the kind of shading I actually am trying to do, so I hope it looks ok. I've been going over this same pic over and over with different techniques, and this is the shading that I'm going to try to keep doing.

This shall also serve as my new avatar for the time being! ^_^

So anyway, like before, if anyone has any tips on how I can improve this style of shading, I'd really appreciate it. :)

So now that I have these basic drawing techniques all worked out (for now), I'm going to try to draw something a little more, umm, "interesting", if you catch my drift. ;) (After all, there's so many things that tongue implies :P)
