2nd. Start the base. What you wanna do is have a base color in mind, and color the entire thing that for now.

3rd. Add the facial fetures. There are so many things you could do with the face so choose a couple or more, and try it out!

4th After that then make the body any color you want. If it is an animal i suggest making a kinda ovaelish shape on the stomach of a diffrent color.

5th and now you are done with basics!

SHADING

1st. What color is your creation? If it is brown then use a darker shade of brown. If black then use white. If white use cream. If it is any other color use a slightly darker shade of that color!

2nd. How to shade. First you can start by shading the edges of the bottom and sides.

3rd. detail shading. Use contrast colors. so like use colors that are a darker or lighter shade then the orginal color, and put them all along the bottom and side of your creation!

4th. Go crazy! This is the time where you go all out have fun with it, and add as many shades textures and colors as you would like!
