Sombre, one question.

On good sprites there are hundreds of pixels(?) with subtle color differences that create shadings/shadows and other features. How is this done. When I recolor I use "custom color" to make a few slightly differnt colors, the place them individually where I think they should go. But it is very difficult, actually damn near impossible, for me at least, to duplicate the quantity of shadings and then place them properly.

What I do works on small areas like faces, weapons, boots, but does not look right on an entire sprite. The sprite appears flat, childish and inept.
