Hey art forums. =] I'm having a bit of trouble with this, so it was suggested that I look here for help.
See the cute little emote? I'm trying to shade that. I refreshed my memory on the shape via a tutorial on deviantART. I planned to use the same tutorial to refresh my memory on how to shade it. Unfortunately, that tut didn't work for it as it simply showed how to use gradients to shade it. Now, I use GIMP. My gradients don't work right to shade it in such a way. So I did a more in-depth search to try and find a tutorial that would work.
Unfortunately, all anyone seems to use for shading now is Gradients. :stare:
Does anyone know of or have a tutorial for hand-shading emoticons? I am in desperate need of one right now, as I have this emote and then three more to shade. D:
