LF2 styled shading tut.

[Whaat]

I kinda often see noobs/beginners think ''what kind of shading is good?'' ''why my shading is bad?'' ''what kind of shading is the right shading?'' so i decided to make my own tutorial for ''right'' styled shading. Atleast this is how it is in LF2.

Helpful tut, basically shows how shading should be done at an overall minimum (helpful to people starting at spriting, massive pointers along the right path).

However, rather than always having jagged lines on clothing, take a look at how clothes lay really. Different materials and different styles of clothing will fold or crease differently compared to others. Loose fitting T-shirts tend to have tighter, more compact, jagged creases but jackets and hoodies and stuff would have fewer or much more rounded creases.

The shading style depends on the type of clothing, like the shapes in which you produce when shading.

All in all - nice tut :P

Dude Photofiltre is a very small program meant for only recoloring and other minor stuff.
But, GIMP and PS are way advanced than this photofiltre.
Now I am using GIMP and it's awesome!
Compact and small and A BIG HANDY TOOL!

Well, i don't know what kinda program photofiltre is, but the tutorial is not telling you to use certain program, you can use any you want. This is just a shading tutorial, not a ''how to use GIMP/PS and shade'' -tut.
