Description
Someone asked me for some sort of tutorial on how I do gems and diamonds, etc
. It's hard to explain with words so I made a visual step by step instead.PLEASE DO NOT COPY THIS PIXEL FOR PIXEL.
It is only meant to show the *idea* on how to shade such things.

Why is there a small version in a circle of each step? :3

so you can see what it looks like at actual scale. The bigger version is 'blown up' so you can actually see what's going on.

Oh I see, well that was a good idea

So you can see how it looks zoomed out. Just because you're making the pixel/picture up close doesn't mean it'll look the same from far away.

How do you pick the colors for the anti-alias? I always have trouble getting that right. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
anti alias colours should already be a part of the palette
Example:
Your palette has 5 colours.
when colour 1 is beside colour 3 you would use colour 2 to anti alias between them.
