Full View (obviously) if you want to see the tutorial

Obviously there are many other techniques and styles of shading skin, but this is for the "cutesy" anime look.
(sorry that the file is sort of huge, but hopefully you will find it helpful!) This technique is fairly easy to do, and I tried my best to explain everything so even if you are a photoshop beginner you will be able to understand I think. If you know what you are doing in photoshop and you are looking for guidance from this tutorial, then you can probably just skim through, the picture demonstrations should be good enough for you to figure it out for the most part (hopefully). Regardless, you are obviously free to use this if you want, I hope this helps you And sorry about my terrible handwriting on the sidenotes xD
Hair is coming next I think, or I might combine hair and clothing. We'll see, it depends on what people think they need
