Some can be adapted to both pixel and tool shading, but these are probably best followed in Photoshop or a similar program.

Glitter

1. Find a doll that needs a little something extra. (Base from The Doll on the Hill Factory.) |
2. If your image is a .GIF, go to Image > Mode > RGB Color. If not, proceed to Step 3. |
3. Create a new layer. Zoom in and draw lines and/or patterns with the Pencil tool where you want the glitter. |

4. I've found two ways to go about this, the results of which you'll see at the end of the tutorial: a. Choose a contrasting glitter color. Select your lines with the Magic Wand tool and fill them with that color. b. Using your Eyedropper tool, pick up a dark color from the garment. Again, select your lines and fill them with that color. (Use this method if you're not going for the Vegas showgirl effect.  ) |
5. Go to Filter > Add Noise. Make sure Uniform is selected, and the Monochrome box is checked. I use amounts between 10–30%, depending on how much sparkle I want. Leave as is if you like it, or proceed to Step 6. |
6. Drop the opacity to your liking. I've dropped it to 80% here. |
