Description This is by no means exhaustive and is meant to be an extremely light overview of how I use gradient maps in my digital art, since I do get asked occasionally (especially during streams, where someone inevitably goes "whoa wtf was that" ahaha). This is a basic introduction to using the tool and shows how you might use them to color a painted adoptable base, but the second part (linked below) has some more general techniques!

If you make use of this tutorial and want to say thanks, please feel free to drop by my Ko-fi at ko-fi.com/rejamrejam , or just leave a nice comment ;D

This is a Photoshop exclusive tutorial. I'm not sure if gradient maps exist in other software, but if they do I imagine they work on basically the same principles!
