I've been working at my drawing for a while, and finally I thought I'd try and see if "shading" makes pictures look better. I can't tell, but I'm thinking he looks very cuddly...

How is it?

I've never learned how to do the body shades thing, and even after I studied the reference for a few minutes (the Margonite concept art on Guild Wars Wiki, theres the same picture in the back of the Nightfall manual) I couldn't figure out how to do it.

Looks pretty good!

to help with shading try to pic a light source in your picture, and then shade from where you think the light would create different shadows etc.
or
if your new to the shading thing, try looking at the picture in the book, try to notice the different shades of light on it.
i'll try to see if I have the book laying around here somewhere....... but my computer room is like a war zone X_X

I didn't get this out of a book.. it's the Margonite concept art on the Guild Wars wiki.

I just realized that I've gotten the month on the timestamp wrong O_O

It was supposed to be 5/27/2007... lol
