Description I really, REALLY should not have spent time on this right now with all I have to do, but damn it! I'm so excited! And it's so helpful!

I do hope this is all easy to read and clear, sorry it's so large, but there is much I felt needed to be shared to get a lot of the potential Gradient Masks have!

As said, I will take Q/A to fill in blanks and change the file later on to reflect these gray areas. Enjoy, and I would LOVE to see what people do with this new knowledge!

EDIT:
HOLY COW! I did NOT expect this to get so popular and loved in just 3 days! Thank you all! I'm so happy that this is something you all can find useful and learn from. All of the comments so far too; it's all very encouraging, and I hope to share more hidden tips and tricks to the power of art

I love this tutorial. The only drawback for me was the font. I couldn't read it easily, as I have sight issues. However, when I did read it, it rocked. Thank you.

This is incredibly useful

One thing I'd like to add is that instead of using a layer mask, you could just create a clipping mask with the gradient map on top

Thanks so much for this! I've always had a problem with using gradient maps properly. I would nominate this for a DD if i could

I've read a lot of tutorials about coloring on top of a gray-scale drawing, and they always seem to leave something out. But your's was very informative and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks a lot! Somehow never even noticed the very existence of the gradient maps. Apparently, it's very powerful.

I never knew myself till 2 weeks ago! And yes, I think it's quite powerful for someone who is trying to get into the professional art field. Was to excited, I had to make a tut asap XD
