I've been getting some queries about the change in my shadings -and I'll write here to answer to y'all.

Did I improve or got a new scanner?

My answer is a big "NO".

Firstly since around the time I joined here, my sketches looks like this
It's a prime example of how a heavily shaded sketch looked -the overall shading is neither too dark nor too light, it seems somewhat 'balanced' (it ain't 3D enough, in a sense).

Secondly I gradually started to use the "Auto Contrast" option on Photoshop [Image > Adjustment > Auto Contrast], which both slightly darkens and sharpens the overall sketch at the same time. I can't remember when or which was the first sketch I started using it, but its vaguely around this year...
Example
Note the sharper contrast (compare to sketch above).

Thirdly (and last), the noticeable darkening of my recent works such as this was the result of using the "Burn" tool -which I fiddled around out of boredom as well as to curiously see what it's like darkening certain parts of the sketch that I would have naturally darkened more with extra pressure on my mechanical (which is near impossible without breaking the lead).

Here's a sneak preview of what my recent "GRIMMJOW -180000 thanks" sketch looked like before I enhanced it with the burn tool [link]

So, there ya go. I haven't really improved or anything of that sort I just digitally enhanced them.
