Shading human character was very difficult, so I decided to focus on line art, and used crosshatching to learn basic shading without worrying about colors. I practiced where the shadows would form, and used crosshatching for about 2-3 months to learn basic human shading
My first attempt was drawing Orie and Bulbasaur, but I quickly found that Orie was too hard for me, so I spent about a month drawing Pokémon because they were made up of basic shapes for me to get used to. I learned to shade spheres and very basic lighting.
