Hello poni-pon! I'll just get right to it since you probably get a ton of questions everyday, I've recently taken up art (about 5-6 months now) and I'm having trouble with shading, do you have any advice for practicing it and/or learning how to shade better?

c: i actually don’t get a ton of questions everyday despite what people think. (I’m actually not all that popular-)


So what I do for particular pieces is, with Paint tool sai:

Step one: draw the thing

Step Two: Select the thing with the Magic Wand!

Step three: make a new layer, and set it to multiply!

Draw in where your shading goes!

Reselect with the magic wand!

Choose luminosity for your new mode, add another layer, and play with the opacity settings so it’s not as bright. c:


aaand there you go! That’s how I shade. c: …when I do shade.
