**** you man, this picture was in the presentation slides of a graphics programing class I took this fall, **** made me all depressed and **** , worked my ass off and I only got a B. +1 for successfully making me sad.
I've lost count on how many atrociously bad artists I've seen that do the shadng right. I don't know if it takes no effort since it's always something I've had issues with, but they should've spent the time they studied shading to actually practice drawing. Why does everybody make it look so easy
Actually it is more than possible to just draw and shade well with only a 55$ tablet. 75$ large one will go a long way if you don't plan on getting the one with built-in screen.
Is this how Zack Snyder pitches his movies? "I'll just use DC heroes, but I'll make them darker, and darker, and darker, until eventually you can't even see the characters."
