Description
So, I don't know if this is what anime looks like to you, but this is what anime looks like to me.Ideally for Illustrator CS2 users but these principles/tips/techniques can be applied to pretty much any program.
This is my contribution to Vector Week; July 21-25.
Enjoy!

Thank you so much for clarifying a few things up for me that even as an advanced graphic anime artist - I still couldn't 'get,' no matter how many layer effects that I applied!

This is a great tutorial. I especially like how you make a guide to where to put the gradients.

"Triangle Cheek Lighting" as you call it actually already has a name. It's called Rembrandt lighting, named after the great painter who so often used it in his work.

Thanks for this tutorial. But one question: how to make gradients on paths? I can't do step 1.

My lineart is composed of shapes that can be filled, they are not created with the line tool but with the fill tool that is part of the pen tool.

This is great. but, are you doing all these gradients on separate layers?

this is great but are you putting each gradient on its own layer?

I usually keep all my colors, including gradients, on one layer. I have the lineart in another layer above everything. But that's really up to you.. You can make as many layers as you need for each gradient or set or gradients.
