What no bite-by-bite action review with color commentary whilst you're chewing?

Reading comments in reverse chronological order takes all the suspense out of the process…
…knowing the outcome I am faced with a burning desire to 'touch that dial'*

Just another typical programmers day :lol:

An electronic form of Engineer's Hell (all the parts are prefect and all the subsystems check out, but the overall construct fails)

Most people tend to shade moving to black, like this, which is perfectly fine! But there are other methods that I prefer, like hue shifting!
What is hue shifting?
Hue shifting is changing the color as you go from light to dark. In most cases, people shade from one complimentary color to another (typically from yellow to purple), although you can change it any way you want. Hue shifting in action looks like this.
Using hue shifting adds a lot more color to a skin, and creates more interesting shading which helps imply depth.

When going to a darker color, move the color more to purple, and make it a little darker. And when making a lighter color, shift the color closer to yellow, and white.

Where to use shading.
In wrinkles, clothing folds, implying distance, and more! The further away something is, it seems a lot darker.
Lighting can also be used to show where a light source is, like where the “sun” is, a torch, a lantern, a fire, it’s limitless!

If you have any more questions, feel free to let me know.

check out knoble's old blog about skinning, it's still helpful these days. this is one of my fave art tutorials but is a lot of reading. a lot of color/shading/design improvement comes from emulation. browse thru the skins of creators you look up to/aspire to and start seeing what they do that just works. in simplest terms, what blue said is true. hat layer helps, shading will help. put darker shades where shadows would be, put highlights where the sun/light source hits

could you please give me more of an explanation about shading?

Shading is a big one! Also using the second layer. With these two together, you can do a lot of cool things! If you’d like more of an explanation, feel free to ask.
