I think it matches just fine.

Do that. Ignore the yellow background part. @[email protected]

Brush with a black brush instead of a red one.

THEN, there is a gradient tool on the tools bar, under the paint bucket tool. Switch it to the settings/colors you like.

Press the lock option on layers that only allows you to color what you've already drawn on that layer.

Pop the gradient over, and poof. Gradient line art.

You may be able to make a fill layer over your lines and use the gradient tool also, then change it to overlay or color... but I find that ruins colors sometimes, which is why I didn't suggest it.

So, I don't know how different Paintshop is, but with photoshop, you create a new layer on top of your line art and flood fill it with a gradient (usually found somewhere around the fill bucket). There should be some presets you can use.

You then change the layer settings until you find one that looks nice. I use all kinds of different ones depending on the line art. ♥

Here's a screen shot from photoshop~

Annnd, the art matches the avvie really well! The clounds are nice :3


{OH~! Alicia relied as well. but uh. I think my method is different?}

I recommend Glammy's method, puja! As I have just earlier told you about. XD

Remember to 'Overlay' (not multiply, I made a mistake there). ^^

Erasing off the whites can leave grainy edges and uneven lines. So the colour overlapping method is better. =D

Multiply is good if you want to colour under your line art thought!
And overlay is like...my favorite layer option. It does so much~!!!! ♥

Upps i mean i am using the photoshop >.< my apology D:
i will try if i get the idea and tell the result tomorrow ^^ as i am being kicked out from internet >.> thanku :D

lol I've just remembered that Multiply wasn't wrong either.
If you want to use 'Blending Options' instead, then you MUST Multiply the all white layer. =D

First step
Right click on the layer after multiplying. =)
Select 'Blending Options' as shown by the screenshot below;

Second Step
Then, select 'Gradient Overlay'. Select, not tick the box. XD
Set it to 'Multiply', choose your gradient, and then adjust the opacity, scale and angle depending on your preferences. =D
