how do you do such smooth darker parts on body? i was playing with filters and stuff but never managed to get it right XD

I made another layer over the base shading, and set it to a second shading layer (on top of my lines and color layers). I set this layer to Multiply, then select just the character with the select tool, then use the gradient tool (my favorite tool in PhotoShop, lol) to make a gradient of the shadows.

Does that make sense?

For the base shading layer I just use a brush with soft edges and erase the bits I don't want with an eraser with soft edges. ;3

I know what you mean hehe, i tried gradient in some images but most of them look.. flat XD

I do erase that too as for basic shading :"D

_{What a gorgeous character
The composition if great - those low clouds give a sense of height to the setting and the snow looks fabulous
Character expression and pose are awesome too}
