Trust me, there are much better ways to shade.

The other ways are harder, and you are being an idiotic restrictive person.

I don't have photoshop, but I do have gimp. I don't use it a lot, except if I attempt to make a good piece. Which.. doesn't happen a lot. And, I usually use Paint.net, and on there, there is none, so technically... I just do the darker and light shade and blur it. I abuse smudge for shading, but usually not dodge and burn. Maybe dodge, but.. not burn. Again, I just use smudge. But that's when I feel helpless with Paint.net.

I started out using burn and dodge, but recently, I've learned of this wonderful thing called "colored shading" and kids, it works wonders for your art. Also, you can always colorpick your base color and make it darker and lighter for the shading and highlights, respectively. I'm not claiming to be a master of shading, but it's certainly helped my art a bit.

I've seen people complain about dodge-and-burn shading, and I still don't see what's so bad about it. :shrug:
(I don't use it; heck I don't even do my shading on PhotoShop)

I definitely know what you mean. I've seen tutorials for dodge and burn where they take some actually good artwork they have and ruin it with so much... AGH. It makes me sick.

And don't even get me started with pictures that already started out bad...

Really, I think it should ONLY be used for photo editing. Not making a a drawing itself... > _ >

Cel-shading's fun. :D

I'm ashamed of my burn and dodge usage from the past. D:
