Disclaimer: I'm really not the most amazing at this, and I'm constantly looking to improve myself. This is not a tutorial on how to perfectly shade shiny, glossy characters, but more of an overview of a style I've been using lately. The best guide on how to draw better is almost always real life!

But yeah, people have asked me now and then how I do my shading and shiny effects, and here's the gist of it! I hope it helps those toy artists who are looking to improve their shading/detailing process.
