I really hate shading skin
I always overdo it, and end up ruining the whole picture because yeaah face is pretty important part of the picture and all

how you people can make cool pictures without even shading skin at all TELL ME
 

Um… keep it simple. Don’t shade too much. For me, I shade the darkest at the neck and the ears, medium dark under the nose and under lower lip, slightly dark below eyebrows and both cheeks. 

I hope this helps.

Sometimes I feel I should make strong and big shadows especially when it comes to dark pictures D:
But yeah thank you for the advice! ’ v ’  

Well, dark pictures have different way of shading. Unfortunately, that is not in my area of expertise. XD 

You’re welcome! Hope you draw pretty pics. =D
