As you should know by now, I'm not good at shading. All my pixel arts have been taken from google (unless otherwise stated), so I have virtually no experience in this field. This is the first time I have tried to shade something.

Note:
Please let me know how good/bad of a job I have done; I am happy to take critiques or advice from skinners who have experience in this!

As always, have a good day/night, and keep on skinning!

better then I have ever done
It looks Insanely good for a first try!

If I could critique, which may be a bit difficult because the skin isn't very humanoid, the first thing I would say is that the darkest shadows would typically be towards the inside of the skin (where the arms meet the torso, the legs meet each other, etc). The shadow wouldn't usually be on the outer edges of the skin, especially for humanoid skins

I can't tell if u used hueshifting, and if u didn't, I highly recommend u do, or add a little more, as it'll add a lot more life to the skin :D

Overall it's pretty dang good! Gj :>
Thank you so much! I will definitely try hue shifting on my next humanoid skin. This technically wasn't my FIRST try at shading, but this is the first try I tried to do symmetrical shading in this style and color. Overall, this is probably the third skin I've really tried to shade.
