Kreekakon's Artist Training Grounds (2012/9/15 Chapter 3 - Shading Phase 1)

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Well, would you look at that, I can already see where one of my problems was the whole time.
I'm a bit afraid of boldly throwing dark shadows at my drawings, so I always started shading very lightly and then carefully worked my way towards the darker areas. I guess one can do it both ways, but in my case the direction of the lightsource often tended to turn out pretty ambiguous... so I'll give this method a try instead ^^
