First, you'll need a base. For this tutorial, I'll be using a skin I'm in the process of making for thundermember.

Here's the base, and the flat view of the head.

Make a palette as directed in the post above this, and start by plotting the darkest colours on the head. I removed the horns for the tutorial to make it easier to see.

〚 ♠┇ ════════════════ - ‹ •◦ ♔ ◦• › - ════════════════┇♠ 〛
Then take the second darkest shade, and continue.

〚 ♠┇ ════════════════ - ‹ •◦ ♔ ◦• › - ════════════════┇♠ 〛
And continue with each shade until you've covered the whole head.

I ended up needing to go a shade lighter than I'd planned to add a bit of highlight.

〚 ♠┇ ════════════════ - ‹ •◦ ♔ ◦• › - ════════════════┇♠ 〛
And just like that, you're done the side of the hair. Continue this shading on all sides of the hair, like this.

Then continue on to the hat layer.

Now you can move on to the skin. I tend to do most of my skin shading the same way across skins, but figure out what works for you. Again, make a palette.

〚 ♠┇ ════════════════ - ‹ •◦ ♔ ◦• › - ════════════════┇♠ 〛
Continue to hat layer.

〚 ♠┇ ════════════════ - ‹ •◦ ♔ ◦• › - ════════════════┇♠ 〛
Then you can do whatever accessories are on the head.

〚 ♠┇ ════════════════ - ‹ •◦ ♔ ◦• › - ════════════════┇♠ 〛
Shade the eyebrows, and then you're done!
