UPDATE: New Hair Shading!
Next Update will be: A guy skin, you know shading one and creating one.
"At last, after years, and years of waiting, a glorious sun rises, taking away the night, and flooding the world with unimaginable colors. At that very moment, the world became new, bright, and above all, artistic."


As the title states, I am doing a skin shading tutorial. I hope you are prepared for this. If you aren't, well, then come back later.

Also as the title states, this ain't no regular shading "Hair shaiden turturiul" that most people do.
(No offense. Well maybe a little :P)

I will be trying several different shadings, on torsos, legs, arms, and heads.
I will do steps on those and release several different tutorial skins, that I will also release for you to practice with.
I will release the tutorials all at different times.
This is making up for a gap in my uploading.
Right now, I'm going through moving (again).
So, my uploading will slow down, or maybe I'll make a bunch of skins and release them before I move, but either way, I won't upload for around a month and a half.
So, without further ado, let's get started!
You can find the tutorial Sparkly Skin right here.
Hair Shading - Regular
Here is a Regular, nice, and cool shading tutorial. Note: I will do the rest of the skin. Don't freak out.
I guess we'll start. Please, if there are any confusing steps, inform me, I will try and fix them :3
Skin Shading - The Series of Tutorials! - Mage
So, as you can see, there's a skin shading. You can ask permission to use that on my page, it's in my submissions, and I will. . . probably say yes. Then again, this is a tutorial, so back to that.
Skin Shading - The Series of Tutorials! - Mage
First, if you didn't do a before tutorial, please look up hue shifting on Youtube, it's really useful, and enhances your skins so much more. :3 Either way, get six different shades, from dark to light for the hair. After that, we'll start!

You're going to want to do this on all sides, making it so you don't have to do all of them one at a time. But, you wan the darkest color, and follow the picture above.

Then you do this, taking the next color for your hair. It's pretty simple.

And this is the next step, it looks a bit weird, but trust me, you're doing great. :D

The next to last step on the hair sides. :D

There you go! Now there will be more add-ons, but right now, we're moving on. >:3

This is the top of your head. Well, the skin head. xD

Do this, as it lines up with all the sides of the hair. :D

And you are done with that. Moving on.

Do this as well. You don't want to forget that. ._.

This will be under the head, I used to forget this before, but now I don't because I realized how essential it is. xD

Now to the back. The rest of the hair.

Also, you'll be using the same shading colors as before, that can change if you shade it correctly, it can be diferent colors, and I might add a tutorial on that later.  

There. Almost done with the back.

One more left :D

Aaand there. Done with that, we'll do the add-on later.

This is the hair, it will look like this in shape, and I normally do the layout first before shading it all, as I find it easier.

Then, use the next lighter color and fill in some of the darker spots.

And we are done with that.

Here is the add on on the sides of the hair, it's not necessary but it is pretty, and adds a cooler effect, making it look more awesome.

Here's the next part. :D

So, I'm only showing one side, but you'll be doing it on all sides to make it look right, it's exactly the same.

So, if you want, you can take the light color for your hair, and add it over the lightest color to add more depth.

Here's the front, again, I like doing an overall dark shade first to be able to actually see what I'm doing, then shade.

Then this.

Then this. ( I say "then this" a lot)

And then you are done. Whew. Completely done. I hope you like the tutorial, and it was helpful. :3


The Sparkly Skin Tutorial!
This is a bit long, so please cope with it :)
undefined
You can do the hair drape or not, but it's just an add on. :D
undefined
Do dis.
undefined
This one looks a bit difficult, sorry about that. ;-;
undefined
Next, this. 
undefined
Daaadaa! Almost done with the front!
undefined
Again, this.
undefined
Woop! Done!
Next: Back, (and sides)
undefined
Sides are easier to do since people can't see them really on your skin, so if you want just color them in with one color instead. I'm just being fancy.
undefined
Do this on both sides, and then move to the back.
undefined
The back is super easy, because it's already mostly filled with her hair. So go ahead and just fill the little white dots in :)
undefined
Next, the bottom of the dress :D
undefined
I know this is long. I apologize. ;-;
undefined
Almost done with this side :D
undefined
There. Done. Moving on.
undefined
A look, anuder skirt side. Woopie
undefined
Almerst done
undefined
Like, seriously
undefined
Done! Next, The Front!
undefined
Next step
undefined
I feel as though I'm taking too long
undefined
Woopie almost done :D
undefined
One. . . Mooore....
undefined
Done, Now, back. Plus, I can shade skin really fast. You'll see soon.
undefined
okaay so the tutorial picture got a bit bugged, but now you're pretty good at shading, can you finish the rest?
undefined
Gee, thanks.
undefined
You can add more layer to the bottom of the dress by doing this :D
undefined
*Skin magically shaded fast*
undefined
Now the arms :D Do this on all the arms sides, please.
undefined
This too.
undefined
And this.
undefined
Ermagash we're finally done :3
undefined
You can also add a little gold bracelet too if wanted :D 
I hope you enjoyed the tutorial :3
I also hope it wasn't too much of a hassle
Add the hair and BAM!, you can be awesome at shading, even though you probably are already.
Hair Shading - The Sparkly Hair Shade

Hue Shifting a very wonderful thing in life. SO go on YouTube and look it up. "huw du i du hu shiftn" just like that. Just like that.
It makes everything look sexy on your skin. (Don't worry I'm a safe blogger kiddos)
undefined
So, do this first, as you apparently have most definitely gone on YouTube and looked up "huw du i du hu shiftn", already. DEFINITELY.
undefined
Then, take the next darkest color and do this. It's pretty simple.
undefined
Again! Do the same with the next darkest color, and fill in the hair.
undefined
If you noticed yet, I flopped my shading on the top left corner of the hair. Sorry about that. xD Anyway, do it again, and fill in the last skin part. BUT, you are not done yet. Next step!
undefined
Ermagash, we're almost done! Just kidding, you are not done yet, or even near to being done! >:D So, take the lightest color, and add one dot size on your hair, like the picture shows. The top of your head is just like the rest of your hair, but on the top, obviously. So do not forget the top of your head.
undefined
Sorry for it randomly happening like this, but you can most likely differentiate the dark and light colors, so can you just copy this?
I totally forgot I was doing a tutorial and I left out some steps! I'm sorry! ;-;
undefined
Then, do the same thing you just did on your previous hair, and cut out the edges on your hair, adding depth. When done, your hair will look like this-
undefined
And then, oh noes, you almost fergert the bangs! Welp, that's easy as pie.
undefined
There! Just. Like. That. Then add shading, like this :D-
undefined
You are done with your amazingly sexy bubblegum pink hair, obviously, your hair will not look exactly alike. You can also test around on your own, or add things in to make your own unique style! :3 Again, I will do several more shading tutorials, so come back soon!

I dont think you should keep the "Sparkles" In the sparkly hair shading. It looks unnatural.

The Dress colours dont look the best, they dont look good with the hair. The hair colour looks fine with the skin, but you need to make sure everything flows together. The gold bracelet looked random as well.

Just some advice, not trying to be rude.

None taken. I only do the sparkly dots in the hair because it adds more color to the blandness, also, I don't normally do shading like this on a dress, so I was mostly just fooling around. Of course, I won't do all my hair like that in the other tutorials, because I'm trying something new. I hope you come look at this again and like the other tutorials more though. :)
