I have done a bit of block shading, and have some followers apparently impressed by my skills (humble bragging be like), so I decided to make this to explain to those who haven't tried it how it's done. Arrow keys or touch screen to navigate. There are better tutorials available, most notably one by @ash_blockshades, but I wanted to make this anyway. Partly because most people use fruit pieces (usually apples) for their tutorials, which is understandable as that's the sort of block shade most suitable to begin with (my first unshared one was an apple), but I personally wanted to demonstrate with something a little more interesting. People are more likely to be motivated to start block shading if they see a really cool example of a person than one of an apple.
@Constable-Angua is happy to be quoted as having said: "I've investigated other peoples' blockshade tutorials and can honestly say this is the best one I've seen." I disagree personally, but am delighted to hear that somebody thinks so. The picture I block shaded here is a snippet of my profile picture. I originally decided not to share the separate project, but as I started work on it, it became apparent that it would be considerably more impressively detailed than any of my previous block shading projects so I decided to share it anyway. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/570558667/ to see it in its own project. @Constable-Angua was the first to like and fave! On 20 October I realised someone had proposed this to be featured as it's in the relevant studio. I'd like to thank whoever did so, even if this never makes it onto the front page, as the mere idea that this could be good enough for that makes me happy. December 2021: Someone else offered to propose this without realising it had already been proposed. Please send me links to any block shades you did with help from this project. I would love to see them, and have proof that this project was helpful to someone. So yes, advertising is allowed, but it has to be relevant advertising. Tags:
