No problem you deserved it but if I may ask a question how do you shade so well?

Thank you again!  For the shading, I have found it helpful to have a variety of pencils on hand, from the softer ones (HB, 2B, 4B etc.) to the hard ones (2H, 4H, up to 7H).  The soft ones create darker marks while the hard ones create lighter marks.  I usually create shading through hatching, though I am often tempted to rub the lead on with the side of the pencil point.  Sometimes I do that, but it's hard to do fine gradations that way and it can be hard to control (and messy). 

With the hatching, I generally follow the contours or outlines of the thing that I am shading.  The shading will be darker or more dense on the shadow side of the thing, of course, but in a lot of my stuff, the darker shading will also be closer to the outlines.  I'm not sure if this makes sense, so here's a pic:   Come Out, Coward!

Here, the light source is above and to the right of the figure.  So the majority of the hatching is on the figure's left side and on the undersides of her arms, legs, etc.  The hatching starts with a few parallel lines and then I go over it again using hardly any pressure.  If you don't push very hard on the pencil, you can let it do what it wants and it won't be very distracting.  The faint random lines add to the shadow and give the surfaces a kind of energy that helps bring them to life.

The last and most important thing is probably just allowing yourself the time to really build up the shading.  It takes a while to create convincing shading, but in the end, it's time well spent. 

Hope this helps -- Thanks for asking!

Thx!
Yeah Nuka is one of my favourite characters😁
And I think that he isn't so dumb as people say! I think he is very clever (ignore the scene with the fire...) and just play it!
He couldn't impress his mother when he was a cub but a dumb infant (in his eyes) did it! So he also tried it and he learned how easy life is this way - People don't expect something from you!

Sure he isn't a highly talented lion, but not dumb! And maybe if he wouldn't have died he might be a powerful lion!
