well, its not bad for a first piece of art, in any case it shouldnt have taken 3 hours to do that. Anyway, my first piece i showed here got MEGA...and i mean BIG TIME flamed because it wasn̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâôt shaded. So, all you have to do is try it first in pencil and paper, try shading it there. press harder for the darker parts and lighter for the umm.. lighter parts (obvious). Then, when its on the machine, just look for colors and choose darker and lighter shades and see where on the pic it would look best.
