Someone asked how I do metallic shading. Here's a rough tutorial. (Not an expert. This is just my personal process.) + For more refined glare/shine I add more shade and luminosity layers. This helps me build highlights and add more depth to darker areas. + The soft rendered look is a personal choice. I love the blur tool. It reminds me of the days I used to draw in chalk and charcoal.
