   CHALLENGE: The Pillow Shading Challenge!
This week you are challenged to create something using the controversial pillow shading technique.

Canvas Size- Exactly 400 x 100.

Colours - Unrestricted. Because pillow shading can often require a
large number of colours, we recommend saving your work in the .png file
format this week, as .gif can only handle 256 colours.

Transparency - No.

Animation - No.

If you are having trouble with this technique have a look at this handy video tutorial.

	I gotta agree with everyone so far, I'm bowing out of this one. I participate in the challenges to try and increase my pixel skills and, frankly, this won;t help me one bit . I'm going to sit back and see what the big boys do when they mess around with bad techniques. Let the horror begin!

	This is so hard o__o I know I started out with pillow shading six years ago but I really can't remember how to do it now. I'll post a WIP soon to see if I am following the rules. Then again, I don't think it would be a good thing to win this... foolish challenge... Edit: joke or not, this was interesting: Edited by Zenobia - 30 March 2009 at 7:11am
