    <span style="font-size:75">The type of shading you do is called "pillow shading" and what it means is that you do not have a direct light source. Where any lines are you put shadows, occassionally some highlights in the middle. But no real light source. Are you using dodge and burn? I'd really.. not do that. Occassionally I'll use it for coloring eyes, but only if I don't want to spend a lot of time on them, never a whole piece. </span>

    Thanks guys. <br>I just came to terms with myself that I need to improve the shading more than anything else .. <br>I dont use Burn that much, but I use dodge alot .. <br><br>Any other recommended ways of shading?

    <span style="font-size:75">Focusing on light sources is a practiced skill. I myself have trouble with it at times, but for the most part, it's pretty easy once you get the basics. Think of a black and white/charcoal image of an apple by a very talented artist, they'll have dark and close crosshatches to make shadows and small, light and widely spaced ones to show light. And that's just one style! There are tons of shading styles out there, but frankly, I don't think pillow shading cuts it. Shading is defining light from dark, and to do that, it has to make sense.<br><br><a href="http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i267/mikey_arts2/appleLR-1.jpg"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i267/ ... leLR-1.jpg</a><br>There's an image I found on google, I hold no claim to is, but as you'll see, the left side is light, and where the light source is coming from, as the right is darker, as it lays in the shadows.</span>
