Fun With Shading featuring Vaniity

As an artist, most of my abilities are self-taught, and one of the most important things i had to learn was the ability to shade! I can not express how important it is to learn such a vital aspect of art. I thought i would post 2 versions of the same drawing, one with, and one without shading. i think its pretty easy to see which drawing looks better! Also thought i would post the photo that inspired the drawing, cause one can never have enough photos of the gorgeous Vaniity <3
