I've tried shading a few times and each time I would get frustrated and stop, so this time I made a picture specifically to practice shading, I think its going well so far. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5941206/ (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5941206/)
Oh nice! I like the shading on the hood its very well done especially the transition from darker to light... its not too sudden so you can clearly see the fabric curves.
