Gradient Maps for Digital Painting - Part 2

Click here for part one!

Standard disclaimer that there's no single right or wrong way to use this tool. These are just a sampling of the techniques I personally use with the gradient map tool. I use the first technique--changing the underpainting tones--in nearly every piece of art I make.

Gradient maps are one of those tools you find new uses for constantly as you experiment with them!

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!

Feel free to ask any questions you may have! I'll be uploading some of my favorite basic gradients for y'all to use if you want, some time soon.
