Because Star used her ancient ninja technique of nagging. This is simply a compilation of the styles that I have used over my time on PMC, all work for a separate purpose and you will need to experiment to get them right
Layered
This is the simplest of the shading styles in idea, but looks extremely professional when used right. However this style requires the largest amount of shades, I will be using eight for this, however depending on the length of the hair you may need more or less. This style due to it using more shades than others is especially useful on low contrast shading.
First of all you will need to open your skin and draw the base outline of your hair, how this tutorial Io ll be doing a hatless, basic male hair shape
Then you will take the darkest shade and line the bottom of the hair, you may also wish to create certain bumps or two pixel high o towerso however they are not essential with this style unless there are large flat area. These give the skin a bit more detail
Then take the second darkest shade and apply it above the darker shade
Then continue like this until you have used up all your shades, note that you will need a little practice to make sure the top of the head lines up with the other parts of the head
And done, a detailed and fancy looking style without any need for expertise
Layers Basic
This is a related style to the above however it is suited to more basic skins and requires six shades.
First of all you will need to open your skin and draw the base outline of your hair, how this tutorial Io ll be doing a hatless, basic male hair shape
Firstly you will take your darkest shade and once again go over the base of the hair
Then you take your second shade and go over the bottom outline. However this time you shall go two pixels high instead of just one
Then continue going up by 2 with your shades until the hair has been filled up and you have run out of shades
And taadaa! A simple and quick shading style for your skins
Full Shading
The final technique is one that gives the layered look but also a gleam on the sides of the head and the top.
First of all you will need to open your skin and draw the base outline of your hair, how this tutorial Io ll be doing a hatless, basic male hair shape
Then you will take the darkest shade and line the bottom of the hair, you may also wish to create a bump or two.
Then continue using up your shades until you have run out in the same style as the advanced layer shading from before
Once you have used up your shade simply start going up except using your dark colours this time until you have filled in the entire area
And done, a nice style that gives the best of layered shading then some more
Stripe Shading
The shading style I am currently using, it is a very easy to use style that can be used for long hair and fabrics as well.
First of all you will need to open your skin and draw the base outline of your hair, how this tutorial Io ll be doing a hatless, basic male hair shape
Firstly take your darkest shade and place a pixel every second spot, once again you may wish to place bumps here and there
Then go over the entire bottom with your second darkest shade, and you may wish to create bumps here and there again
Then at the top, go over the pixels that correspond to the darker ones below. Once again you may wish to create a few bumps here and there.
Then simply repeat with the next shade
Then finish up with the final shade, however try to make sure that as many of the darker lines connect to the upper one
Then at the top of the head place the second darkest shade where it fits, creating two to three bumps as well
And then simply fill in the rest of the top
