This is the last one, I promise....

Remember to allow time to load, its a big one

Ok, this is the last part of mah tutorials, this is the part that actually uses the gradient tool. Not much really I can say about it, if you get confused just ask or note me. I don't bite

I have very nearly finished some proper artwork so expect that tomorrow ^_^ I am so sorry for spamming your inboxes with my tuts hehe. (Not really )

ARGH, I am still waiting for my sub to come through >_< This totally sucks. I feel so confused

oo-x-goldfish-x-oo In reply to Ilyana88 [2007-09-18 20:50:44 +0000 UTC]

Indeed! It would make my life so much easier but I guess there have to be SOME features on CS2/CS3 that make it worth the hefty pricetag

Ilyana88 In reply to oo-x-goldfish-x-oo [2007-11-23 20:56:12 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I had adobe elements before this and that didn't have the pen tool, I guess for these luxiories you have to pay that much extra!

Ooh wow I never realized it was so hard to do gradient shading, the end result is so gorgeous that I'm afraid to try and mess up my image ;_;

Thanks for helping us

Again I am such a spoon for missing all these comments >_<

Its not that hard once you get the hang of it its just time consuming. Sometimes it drives me insane spending so long just shadin!

warriorsd In reply to ??? [2007-09-07 01:04:31 +0000 UTC]

That's awesome! The only thing I was curious about was the mane, but I'm sure I can find something for it on the search bar

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Ilyana88 In reply to warriorsd [2007-09-07 12:23:12 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I might do the mane another time when I have a more concrete way of doing it. Its not that hard though, I just took a brush and with colours slightly lighter and darker than the original I made lots of lines in the direction I thought the mane would go. Really not complicated at all ^_^

Ilyana88 In reply to akokolupe [2007-09-07 12:22:06 +0000 UTC]

Erm well the lineart usually takes bout an hour and the colouring another half hour. Shading is pretty quick so probably not more than three hours for the whole process but when I started it did take a while >_<

akokolupe In reply to Ilyana88 [2007-09-08 02:58:34 +0000 UTC]

Whoa jeez! That's quite a while! x) Although I've spent that long or longer on pieces too.
