Gradient Sketch Tutorial

FULLVIEW

Eee, sorry for the ginormus file size guys. >< I wanted to make sure people could see the pictures well enough. *shot*

Zomfg, I never knew how hard tutorials were hard to make! Let me tell you, THEY ARE HARD! >< Especially at 5:00 in the morning, so forgive any spelling or grammar mistakes I made in this, I have good reasons. e.e

N'ways, this took about mmm...maybe three to four hours to throw together. I used this sketch in this tutorial, so the characters aren't mine. Diem and Hisoka belong to the wonderful ~vicas-fawx. I just borrowed 'em for this tut. *points to teh space fillers. *

*cough* Ehem, anyways, this Tutorial shows you how to take your sketch and put a gradient effect on it, a simple way to dress up a plain old pencil sketch and give it some life without having to color it. The tutorial also covers how to make your sketches clearer and sharper in the first few steps, which comes in handy as well. *Trounced asked me how to do this, so this Tut is kina' dedicated to her.

If you have any questions just leave them in a comment or you can note me and I'll try my best to help ya out! This is my first Tutorial, so I hope I made it easy enough to understand. I'm not the best at explaining things sometime, and I'm still improving my own work, but I hope this can help someone at least! Hope you enjoy!
