Character Shading and other aesthetic purposes

[BudderMan]

Lately(if you hadn't already figured it out), I've been trying to get into making character WADs and I really have no clue on any sort of shading. Clara was a complete and utter failure(I understand why you disliked it Mystic, so sorry about that!) and I want to start anew. If anyone could give any tips on how to properly shade a character WAD, I would be very grateful!

It's quite simple. put some darker or lighter colors on the borders. Usually the darkest colours are in the holes or lower borders. And this is what I do for round shapes:

Sure. (WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN EVERY TIME?!)http://http://http//s1381.photobucket.com/user/BudderMangos/media/Image1_zpsaa6f3be0.png.html?filters[user]=140948257&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0

You know, if you just looked at the link you'd realize you forgot a colon in the http:// and that you just added two un-necessary http://. http://s1381.photobucket.com/user/BudderMangos/media/Image1_zpsaa6f3be0.png.html

Just take that ?filters out of Yacker's link. Then you can see the picture. It doesn't look bad for me. I'd like to see a version where you change the dark green to the lighter green and change the light green to the darker one. (just for test)

OK! Let me do that reeeaall quick.

Here you go

Did you draw this from scratch? or did you use something as a base?

 

[BudderMan]

Well, I used .Luke's Blaze WAD shoes as a base due to the fact that I can't draw any form of shoes or hands(and no this isn't an excuse). I might change them, though. But the rest is from scratch, yes.
