James Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hello:) As a new person to pixel art, and to Paint.net (Which is fantastic! Thank you to the talented designers:)) I would like to know how the gradient effect is created in the picture below? Surely a person does not need to add graduating shades of a colour manually and a plug in is used instead? Any advise on this would be greatly appreciated (Thank you:)) [/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Well, pixel artists are a particular bunch. They don't believe any tool should be used except for the pencil tool. So, to attack such a problem from their point of view, you would need to add each color manually. Personally, I like to use the best tool for the job, be it the pencil tool, the built-in gradient tool, or the gradient effect.

James Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Thank you for that quick reply I must say, I am surprised at the thought of an artist manually applying all the different colours in just the correct amounts/places as I have seen this same effect used in many different drawings while surfing. (Some pictures are very large involving a tremendous amount of gradients) (Will I have time left over for a life if I pursue this? lol) Thank you once again for a great program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
