Purple Shading

When griffsnuff made this base, I was super excited!
But I wanted to make it in her style instead of editing it to fit mine.
I studied her icons a bit, and made this!

At first I shaded using grays, but then I noticed it didn't look so much like her work.
Then I noticed that she uses purple for shading.
Which reminded me of my art teacher Ms. Stein's shading advice.

We were doing surreals and I was done, but she wanted me to shade.
I was afraid to do so, since I colored it pretty well.
She gave me a purple pencil and said that it would work well with the colors I used.
And it did! Here is the close up before and after of the icon: sta.sh/016keuklej1o
I hope I did well by my sensei and senpai!
