I want to make my jaks better but holy shit, trying to shade feels literally impossible. I can sort of do it at a really rudimentary level if I try it in real life, but using a mouse and an editing application is another kettle of fish entirely and it always comes out looking really wrong and worse than if there were no shading at all. Seriously, how do drawqueens do it?

why the fuck would you need to shade a jak? Are you drawfagging or jakking?

oh right, darkiplier and that sort of thing. Yeah thats like the hardest shit ever since you need to know the normals and basically have a whole 3D space perception to properly draw all the shadows

Jakking, but applying simple shading can make it look better and less like an mspaint toddler's attempt at caricaturing something. Even something relatively simple like this seems difficult to execute
