Hello!!

here's lesson two (mostly clothes shading today, but also some general shading), and yes it's been a while since last lesson, but as i said, this is not my main focus rn


okay lets get started!

so shading
that's hard
When you're making a skin, an artwork or anything really, where you put the shadows is CRUCIAL to make it look good, or believable if that's what you're going for
if i were to explain shading in its simplest form, id say "shade where there is shadow"
although that's correct
it's not really that simple
especially when you're talking abt mc skins because style is also involved
and that's perhaps even more complicated if you look at my style, it looks very different from for example bloomingazalea's style https://www.minecraftskins.com/profile/6837317/bloomingazalea
and compare that to maybe gumholic https://www.minecraftskins.com/profile/3539840/gumoholic
or strqwbxrri https://www.minecraftskins.com/profile/7096242/strqwbxrrii
and you'll see that they are all very different in terms of shading especially

you could have a more complicated style, like myself perhaps or a simpler style like itscrayne or axolxtll

ok the rest in the comments
