This is what I'll call a "Triple-Color-Tone Shading Technique." WHAAT!?! Simply put: for every single color, there is the shadow color, the main color, and the highlight color. Which means that the shadows have no depth, just a single darker color. The main colors have no depth, just a single colors. The highlights have no depth, just a single lighter color. This is what I consider the "ANIME-Shading Technique" in other words. Since artists draw every single frame in an anime, they can't afford to put to much time into giving the shadows, colors, and highlights depth. The only depth the picture has through colors are the shadows and highlights. So this anime technique is how to easily mimick that simpler way of shading, rather than complex gradient shading techniques.

Enough with the mumbo jumbo...here is the tutorial. If you need more pictures, or help, just send me a message, I'll be happy to help you. I myself am a fairly new at using Photoshop, and being an Anime artist, and this technique in the tutorial I thought of while playing around with Photoshop.

I accept any recommendations or ideas anyone has to offer. This tutorial is a reflection of how I frequently use PHOTOSHOP, so in exchange, I hope people who read this will tell me about their techniques.
