Description This one pretty much explains itself...

~Autumnchild wanted to know how I do gems so I made a simple tutorial *^_^*
I hope that you will like it, sweetie!

The layout is a sneak peak on how my Coloured Pencil Tutorial will look like Just a litte more purple and less blue...

Still!
Feel free to ask questions if you have any, otherwise I think that the tutorial explains most of what is needed

And thank you to *Verdokai for proof reading!


Enjoy!


The swirly pattern at the top and bottom is from ~ALP-Stock

I don't have photoshop. Would this work on Sai or Gimp?

Lienwyn In reply to Sakuraofchaos [2017-01-09 17:38:21 +0000 UTC]

SAI doesn't have the same tools (the Dodge Tool, in this case) so I would have to say no. I'm unfamiliar with Gimp so I can't answer that, I'm afraid.

Aww, I was hoping you'd say yes.

Lienwyn In reply to Sakuraofchaos [2017-01-09 17:42:47 +0000 UTC]

There might be ways to get a similar effect if you do the base and shading on one layer and add the highlights on a second layer on top, set to the mode "Luminosity". But that's the best I can offer, I'm afraid, since I don't use SAI all that much and haven't learned all the tricks.

Lienwyn In reply to Sylvaur [2011-08-14 15:17:05 +0000 UTC]

That's very nice

The tutorial is in scraps because all of my tutorials are I have made a total of six tutorials but I prefer to just have my actual art (as in drawings) in my gallery, which is why my empty meme and the few photos I have are in scraps as well.
