Blurred Shading Tutorial
File:Spookycat27.shadingtutorial.png took some wording from Stoneclaw's down below (save that I use GIMP) since that one's probably gonna get removed due to light source. It was a really good concept tho so consider this kind've an update/GIMP version of it?

Accepted. Will be archieved and added shortly. 12:34 Sat Mar 24

Vote on tutorials that need updating/elimination
Because it has been a long time since the apprentice tutorials have been open/updated, many of the information here will be deemed as outdated, and as result, there will be a vote to keep/redo /eliminate some of these tutorials. Cast your vote under the heading if you think it should be redone/eliminated or if it should stay. If you think it should be redone or eliminated, put and state if you want it redone or simply gotten rid of. If you vote to keep the tutorial, put down and state the reason why. If you are the OA of the tutorial and happen to wish for a redo on your own tutorial, then you may simply bring it up under the heading with. STATE YOUR REASON AS TO WHY. If a tutorial receives five votes of yay, then it will be eliminated from the page. If it receives five nay votes then it shall stay was it is. The eye tutorial and the shading placement both need automatic updating due to new blanks and such. When a vote has reached five of either yay or nay, I will come around and render the votes and the reasons as valid, then remove/keep the tutorials as per community consensus.

Only apprentices and above can vote.

Tweaking Shading ~ Redo Nomination
File:TweakingShading.png I'm suggesting that this one be redone. The concept of it is still good, so another like it could be made, but the fact that it uses the old queen blank would make it need to be updated. (as well as the light source could be better defined, but I'm a nitpicky person
 * I was actually going to go through and redo all of the ones using old blanks and incorrect light sources. I understand, I'm just as nitpicky lol 15:19 Fri Mar 23

 * I think that using the old blank is not a reason to eliminate this tutorial, but it's the fact that gaussian blur is actually very unreliable and an outdated technique.
 * Meh, old blanks or not, I don't think that matters. Regardless, the sources could be fixed and the mentions of gaussian blur removed.

Blurred Shading ~ Redo Nomination
File:Stoneclaw33.charart tutorial.shading.png kk so I found that in the archives forever ago ppl agreed to remove this one due to lack of light source, but it never actually got removed. I think it could use a redo/update of something very similar in wording, but with a light source and more shading depth. I'd like to try and make a similar one eventually, as well

 * The light source is misleading, and gaussian blur is just not good
