The top tube shading on the side view looks really good.

Thats not bad for your first. You should use the pen tool for shading though, I think everyone does?

I'd like to figure out what other people actually use for shading...

hmm...how would i do shading on the pen tool?

select regions and fill with white or black, then you can blur and adjust opacity until it looks good. You can also fill with gradient to get a fade effect.

Has anyone noticed that this entire skinning community goes through stages of where everyone is skinning new stuff, then everyone is going through making new shading, but they never use either and don't release it either?

I find it amusing. And now I think I'm going to model a BMX bike, because I'm bored.

Are you implying you want my suzuki shading ?
And make like 10" rise bars on that bmx bike so it'll fit the guy in MXS haha

If you put shadnig over black, only the shades of white will show, no matter what you do, i think thats answering the question you were asking?

[RaNDoM HeRO]

mm sorta, since im just learning i use the burn/dodge tool to shade so how would i be able to shade with burn dodge also with the color replacement tool how would i make stuff white or black?

Fully black or white? Or shades of black and white?
If you want something fully white, just use the paintbrush.

well with the color replacement tool i try to use white but it doesnt work
