Well, I am trying to develop a shading technique now. And, it is a lot harder than I though . I posted an example of what I have but I don't like either one really.

btw, I am using MS Paint.


sorry for double posting :X

It's quite simple really, you just select your color, select another a slightly higher shade, then repeat the process, smoothing out the bumps!

Well.... maybe it's not that simple. I've never understood how I came to do well.

Let's compare, shall we? Take my first bomy, for example: Nero. Crap shading.
Take my last bomy (so far): Zal. Big difference.

So, I guess it just takes some practice, eh?

[Devil]

Practice? Definately, but I wouldn't know where to begin.

When shading, basicly think real life.

First look at a couple of objects, and see how light shines onto an object and casts a shadow onto the object.

If you have light coming from the top, shade under the object and under anything that limbs out from the "torso" or main object.

lol see those robots in the other thread? I made those with ms paint.... Its very easy one you get the hang of it .

I use MS Paint for all my pixel art too.

Easy to use, until it comes to LARGE pictures, which becomes a hassle. Anyways, all I us in paint, is zoom x 8 then paintbrush smallest size, then draw away.

Yes... I must agree. I work well with small pixel graphics, such as icons and yeah.......

Big stuff is a stumbling block however.... and right now I'm working on something to help me get over it... so... yay?
