Gradient Lines

I do it in Photoshop. You actually can do something similar in ArtRage too. But I’ll show the PS version.

So, you draw your lines.

Then you click the “lock transparent pixels” button in the layers panel.

Then you use the gradient tool and drag it around on the lineart. It’ll only effect the areas that already have pixels.

I used to use layer masks for it, but this is simpler and faster.

I hope I didn’t ruin all the magic. I’m sure all of you were here because of my gradient lines and now you have lost interest. What have I done?!
