Liri's maw Demo continued (Patreon)

At first I was going to pick another picture but since I made quite a bit of adjustment on the coloring I feel it's interesting to see how it evolved from there :3 

The main change here are gradients. They are giving a lot more volume to the picture and are highlighting reflects ^^  

There is several ways to go about it. The most basic is to use the lasso tool in order to select an area, create a multiply layer and then use the gradient on it.

However I feel that method can be a bit tedious and if you make modifications  to the drawing, it can quickly make the layer obsolete afterward because the zones where the gradient must apply are now different.

So instead I prefer to  use the gradient layer as an attribute to the color layer ( you can tell them by the little arrow on the side ). It essentially means that layer only apply to the layer it's linked to. That means selections are now irrelevant, you can modify the color surface as much as you want, the gradient will automatically apply to it !  it's a very handy tool once you get the hang out of it and its usage extend far beyond just gradients :3 It reduces greatly the need for using selection tool which I personally have always find very boring to use ^^;

I also reworked quite a bit the saliva like you can see. Because the mouth is now more shaded, it makes all little reflect that much more visible so every little spots count more and are more impactful ;3
