very lazily tbh lmao

I don't use proper shading that often, so I use gradients and noise to cheat my way to some measure of depth in my coloring :')

Usually, I'll make a base color layer that I can clip a folder with color layers on top of, like this

if my lineart is clean enough, I can do a base color layer very quickly, using this tool:

Then I'll start filling in flats (and usually doing some blush and hair gradients to draw focus to the face)

Then comes the gradient layer (at 30-ish% opacity) and I'm not kidding when I say I've used this exact gradient image for every single drawing I've done in at least the last decade. Violet gradient my beloved

Then I throw a noise layer on top, also at 30-ish opacity

Then I color the interior lineart (I usually leave the exterior edge of the lineart fully black)

And lastly I'll copy the sketch and dunk it on top on a multiply layer at varying levels of opacity depending on what looks good. I erase parts of the sketch using a big kneaded eraser so I'm just left with a hint of the sketch. I just think it looks kinda neat and it emulates something a little more traditional looking.
