Creating a gradient palette tutorial


This tutorial will show you how to make a gradient palette. I use PSP 11 but you can use any paint program including MSpaint.

Step 1: Choose yourself a color palette. With color #2, fill in the first space of the color palette template. With color #3 fill the second space and so on with color 4, 5 and 6. Step 2: Fill in the blank space with a lighter shade then color #6 of the palette. You now have your original color palette and a second one, slightly lighter then the original one.
Step 3: With the new palette done on step 2, repeat the step one. Step 4: Again with a lighter shade then your 6th color fill in the blank area. And now you got 3 palettes, the original one, the second lightest one and now this one lighter then the second one!
Step 5: Repeat those steps as much as you need palettes. The bigger the piece you want to shade the more palettes you will need. If you don't know how to use this palette, follow my angel wings tutorial!


This tutorial was created to help you creating your own gradient palettes. You can use this palette to shade your stuff but do not put it on your website and claim it as your own.
