Alternative Title: QuetzaDrake Can't Digitally Paint Shadows Worth a Shit
Hey, it's my rarely-seen ringtailed lemur altsona who I haven't actually drawn in years and hasn't been drawn by anyone in almost a year. Big belly, huge tail, that's what he's all about.
This was another drawing I started during my sadness times on Valentine's Day, but only finished today. Now, if there's one thing I really wish I could do well, it's painty-shading type stuff, but it's just one of those things I've never been able to grasp, and every single tutorial for digital painting just goes "now paint on this layer!" like it's some intrinsic thing. So whatever, I took the opportunity to try making up a new shading method and this resulted. I guess it's okay enough to try refining, maybe, who knows.

Nabad. I do like the little hard white lines on the places that are meant to be especially shiny. Do you have a blending or blurring tool in the program you use? If so, you may want to blend the edges of the different transparencies of your highlights and shadows a little. Obviously not so much that it ALL blends together, but just take a small brush and blur those hard delineations. It'll give your shading and highlighting a more gradual, natural feel to 'em.
I only brought it up 'cuz you said you were working specifically on shading. It looks good as it is, but that'd make it a bit better. :)
