Tutorial on how to shade anime and manga - examples from naruto given (kimehaa)

SEE HERE!!!

I'll answer all your questions here!!

First up is ejenkins09 who asked:
wat are the tools you always have the gloss the paimnt tell me everything

Ok: here is the answer:
In my box of tools i will ALWAYS HAVE THIS:

Pencils: I have all of them: 2H, H, HB, 2B, 4B, 6B, 9B
BUT...i prefer using HB (for rough sketch and helplines), 2B for drawing and shading... Take forexample my Konan video.. In that video all i used in the entire video is a 2B pencil!!!!!! (and i actually used a whole pencil drawing Konan...)

In this video i used a 2B pencil all the way!!

Paper: In my box of tools i have all sorts of paper... Roughsurfaced paper usually makes it easier to shade, and to colour darker with a pencil.. But smudging is easier on a blank paper (copy paper)!! Dont spend too much money on paper since it's usually not very much difference in paper even though one sort of paper might cost a fortune while other sorts of paper are cheap!! Just experiment and find your own favourites!!!

Erasers: Maaaan i love my erasers! HEHE! i have both kneaded erasers and normal erasers. The kneaded ones are soft and doesnt leave the annoying small bits and parts that ya have to brush off the paper all the time... But.. soft erasers (kneaded erasers) will not be able to completely remove all pencilstrokes... Also here, find your favourites!! But IMPORTANT: never settle with an eraser that might leave un-eraseable marks on your paper! Thus: never buy those coloured erasers for kids or other cheap-ass erasers!! You might end up ruining your drawing halfway in! ;)

Pastel: Sometimes i chose to colour my drawings!! Then i use pastel pencils! There are two types of pastel! I use the one that is like chalk!! I do NOT use oil pastel (coz i suck at it) LOL!! so i have a lot of pastel pencils! IT'S REALLY FUN TO DRAW WITH IT!!!!
If ya wanna try out pastel colouring i reccomend you to buy a set of pastel pencils (and you can keep away from the expensive ones for now.. just have fun with the cheap ones, coz they work wonders as well) XD!!!

Spray: Since pastel is like chalk, one must have a spray to make the colours stick to the paper!!! Such sprays are usually called fixation spray!! It might leave a glossy surface or a matt surface on your finished masterpiece! HEHE! but... if ya buy such a spray, remember to read on it and see if it fits for "pastel" use!!!! XD!!

Charcoal: I also draw with charcoal (tho i haven't uploaded pure charcoal drawings yet)

All of my equipment can be bought in a regular hobby store! XD!!!

Hope this answers your question! XD

[raideng377]

why when u erase....the marks of your writing doesnt stay...what paper do you use......btw i use pencil just like the one your using..steadler ryt?

[akumitzu]

@raideng377 : yeah! ;) steadtler pencils rox! I have a good steadtler eraser as well.. And i used a 2B pencil and tried not to press the pencil to hard against the paper. It works fine, but i also made the "contrasts" greater on my camera settings so that you wouldn't see the erased writings.. :D I actually think that it's easier to erase steadler pencil lines than lyra pencil lines.. but the lyrapencils are great too! XD
