Shiny

A really nice way to shade stuff;cuz let's admit it, people like shiny stuff. :3


First,start by making one diagonal line across. I recomend using a really bright color to start with.
Ex.
undefined
Second, make two more lines next to the first one;but in a darker shade.
undefined
After that,you pretty much just keep on going until your done.
undefined   Heres an example on the finished hair. (No Grid.)


'Yarn'

Time level:Medium

I honestly didn't know what else to call this shading technique;but for some reason it reminds me of yarn.
Anyway,this way takes a while, including shading all the sides of the head, but it's worth the while, because it looks nice and detailed.

First, you need to color a horizontal,leaving a space between each pixel,all the way across.
undefined
Next, get a darker tone, and color all around each pixel.
undefined
Then just keep going.

Here is the finished product:
undefined  Looks nice, Huh?


'Circular-Ish'

Time level:Medium
I use this shading technique most of the time because of how easy it is to do. It kinda looks like a circle.(kindaaa....)

Firstly, your going to need to do a 2x2 square in the middle. (In other words just make a small square in the middle)
undefined
Once you've got that you pretty much just continue doing what the next step says 'till your done.
Secondly, you pretty much just get a darker tone and shade all around like this:
undefined
undefined
And down here is the final:

Layers

Time level:Low
A good way to shade something if your in a hurry. (o
r just too lazy :P )


First choose a base and color the whole thing with that.
undefined
Then, color over most of the first layer, but leave some on there.
undefined

Just keep goin' from there.
undefined
When your done it should look something like this
