So yes, there's more to that big Special Passenger YCH I sold over a year ago. As you may recall, the purpose of it was to create a price sheet, showcasing all my possible styles. Shown here is what I call my Gradient Shaded style which I've done once before. Like the other styles, it is an intermediate step, and lies hidden under my more detailed pictures.

Two main difficulties with this one were that a: I tended to forget where I'd set the light source, causing me to redo a few of the shadings, and b: all the shortcuts I took in the previous steps came back to haunt me
