BEHIND-THE-SCENES PROCESS WORK: GRADIENT SHADING TUTORIAL #2
DESCRIPTION

Wuh-oh! It's time to start up the big one–gradient/edge shading for muscles! Bear in mind that what you see happening, step-by-step, really only takes like a few minutes, tops, when you get used to it!

Gradients can feel ornery for a bit, but you start to get a pretty solid idea how far your light-to-dark stretch will go, depending how far out you drag the stylus before letting go, and all that, so keep that in mind while you go through =3

You really just repeat this process across the form! Next time, we'll get to a different type of shading, that adds that extra bit of sheen! ^^

The full version of FLEX #21 is almost wrapped, too :D Had several chunky RL disruptions in a row this week, but it's still nearing completion!
