This material collection includes materials that can be used in Studio Mode. (What is Studio Mode?)

An auto action to do the 'bromine trick' with gradient maps, as well as a small selection of gradients to use afterwards.

Eyes burning out of your skull due to the bright sparkling background of your bromine trick art? Wish you could use a different background color?

Want a bromine hack that will allow you to do coloring underneath without doing a bunch of nonsense to get your artwork prepped?

Indecisive about what color of bromine you want?

Here's a pack for you!

This contains the following:
1. A layer template that works under a pretty simple premise : basically every single bromine trick out there is doing five thousand steps to do what a gradient map and a couple folders with the right settings could do in like... two seconds.
2. A set of gradients specifically tuned to what the folder set does, just in case you don't have a lot of gradient map sets already, and don't like the look of CSP's default ones. To use these instead of what initially pops in just swap which gradient is being used in the folder.

Forever free, because of how simple this is to do on your own once you know it's possible. This exists both for people who don't want to deal with making the folder nests every time, and for people who haven't considered the possibilities of nested folders for doing stuff like this.

How To Use:

1. hit the autoaction.

2. You're done. Draw in black in the blank layer between the fill and gradient. If you want to color your art, make sure to do so underneath and outside of the set.

When the auto-action is done running, the layout of folders should look like this:

A sample of the gradients in the collection is here. Please note that the cats are drawn on a gray background, but the colors still shine through:

FAQ :
Q: I'm using the bromine layer, but the colors aren't working right.

A: Check to make sure that you're using pure black on the bromine lines layer. Additionally, brushes with grain or transparency are the ones that work best with this trick! A G-pen or any other similar solid 100% opacity line will only have mild color changes. That being said, that could work well for making interesting traditional cel effects, if you duplicate the lines and gaussian blur the duplicate underneath.

Q: I'm not able to use color, everything is turning out bromine color...

A: Make sure that you are not doing your coloring on the Draw Lines Here' layer! For coloring to work, you must make you are coloring outside of the 'Better Bromine' folder, underneath it, as illustrated here:

Q: I like this effect, but I would like to be able to do the bromine effect in different colors per piece of art. Is there a way to do this?

A: Yes, but it will get cluttered; you will need to have multiple folders, with each 'piece' (clothes, skin) separated out. So you'd have a purple bromine trick linework folder, and one that has a tan color in another one, or whatnot.

Q: I have fill tools, and they aren't working right/filling the full canvas. What do I do?
A: Set the tools to 'Reference Layer' instead of 'all layers', or temporarily toggle the visibility of the 'Keep White' layer off while using the tool in question, and turn it back on after you do so. The 'Keep White' layer is set as a Draft by default to avoid these issues in the first place.

With that... Have fun! (Character depicted in these examples is mine, and my sloppy handwriting is mine)
