Description
Large file is large please download for full view!A super quick tutorial for . She wanted to know how I add gradients to my dolls outfits. I hope this explains how easy it is. :3 I used two different dolls because one uses a simple gradient and the other more 'advanced'.
1. Shade the outfit like you normally would.
2. Recolor the outfit with the other gradient colors. (you can do as many colors as you want depending on the effect you are going for)
3. Copy the original outfit and draw over the parts that you want to be the different colors. You don't even have to use solid lines you can dither the lines if you want.
4. Take the outfit with the color marks and paste it with the respective color as 'transparent' over the color you want the area to be for each color.
5. Now you have yourself a fancy gradient outfit!

That's an interesting way of doing it, I tend to do it via the palette but then I spent like years changing it when I get to the doll because then it don't suit, or just doesn't blend well this method seems MUCH easier then mine lol.
Very good though, it's a tutorial that you don't see!

My palette's tend to be huge sometimes I can't even fit all the colours in on the doll in an area and just skip colours .

XD Ah well, that isn't so bad it is what makes your pixels so soft and pretty looking~
My pixels are more contrasty and bright.

Thank you! <3 Yeah, gradients are pretty easy to do once you have the colors worked out. Actually getting the colors figured out is the tough part. XD
