no problem! I am happy to help tho sometimes i get a little lazy XD i was gonna do both drawings but... ended up doing just the face for the first one :3 if you wanna see more lemmie k! or if you like something i do and want to see how i do it, feel free to ask! i'd be happy to do more recordings for you XD it makes me feel like im good at something lmao (even tho i might not be hahah)
Haha that was me being lazy since your question was about how to shade better XD if your question was about how to lineart/do proportions, my approach would have been different XD
but yes depends on your focus tho. if you wanna purely focus on shading, you can roughly do the other aspects like lineart if you want. that's up to you
btw its super fun interacting with u on the forum, do you have ig? (watch i bet i asked this before and already have u on ig XD) (if u dun have ig, do u have discord or somethin?)
