Description
... time for another tutorial, since people asked how I shade using the Gradient tool, this generally explains it! This is what I learned when I worked as colorist and a few tricks also when I was in that storyboard-course... You can shade everything using that tool, a rock is just an example.And it is really fast to work with it... I painted that rock in around 12 minutes... or less. Please refer to this Tutorial (or to my DA URL) if you use this technique, Thanks!
any questions? Just ask
ADD-ON: also available in german now, here: [link]

That's a great tutorial! I used it on this drawing [link]
I hope you don't mind that I "copied" the form of your stone, I just liked it looks so I kinda tried to make it look like yours. Tell me if you do mind and I'll change it

So shiny, hardly a rock. More like lump of iron or some other metal.

easy to use, and very simple to adjust color into the rock (using greens, rich browns, blues, etc) for atmospheric purposes in a background. thank you!!

i'll deffinetly be looking at this again sometime, but could i use this same tactic, sort of, for making a stone path?
π: 0 β©: 1
Surely
though for a path I would make the sides of each rock smaller, so that the rocks look more flat otherwise I don't see a problem

This looks very helpful and simple, I shall give it a try next time I draw rocks. ^^

i came over this by accident and i just had to try it! never used gradient much before though and it was messing about so didnt quite follow the whole tutorial, used burns and dodges along with smudges and even added different colors with the brush, but the whole idea was so inspiring! thank you

ive never been able to make it smooth with gradient, I'll learn sometime but dodge and burn suited better for me this time
