so hey,
i'm new here, not really sure how this works, but anyway:

I'm drawing this. Only, i'm sooo bad at shadowing (is that an english word?).
Because if I use soft ones, it always looks too blurred out and hard ones look nog finished yet and I never find a right way inbetween...
Advice?

and, background? What shall I do with it? Just leave it white?
