I'm getting better at toning... before, toning was so simple that it was too quick, almost boring... so I decided to challenge myself a bit and experiment.
So now I have a better way of toning ((thanks to the new uses found of "dissolve" + "channels", "pen-tool" + ctrl + ENTER and "invert"~))
also I've decided to be less scared of hand toning. As you can see that dark shadow was hand made as well as the toning behind Caed's eye in the last panel..
before I was too OC to let that be done without straight lines XD
