Description This tutorial is a bit technical, but if you've ever wanted to know how I doll sparkle, here's my method! In fact, this is probably a good technique for any sort of digital art, not just dolling.

It was written for the GIMP, but there's also a Photoshop version!
If you have some other program suitable for tooling, you can probably follow along and use the same technique as one of these two, but some of the tools and filters might have different names and settings.

omg. Sri Lanka 2011? I'm amazed! Why her? (Also great tut, it's just that seeing something to do with Sri Lanka suddenly filled me with a wave of patriotic glee).

Thanks! That couple was for a Miss Doll International pageant (a great big three-round contest) a while ago. I don't remember the reason for picking Sri Lanka, but I had a lot of fun making her! I ended up looking up loads of Sri Lankan stuff for the other rounds, like the traditional outfits. I think she got 2nd runner up overall
