TOPIC | How to make facet/crystal effects?
I was curious how people make the Crystal/Facet/Iridescent effects when they draw their dragons? Is there some sort of texture that can be downloaded?

The artist who drew Crystal and Facet did a blow-by-blow instruction gif of how they did it. I don't know how useful it will be to you, but it's all hand painted! c: [img]https://33.media.tumblr.com/9660473a53b1e09e99b211db06c25aea/tumblr_nd71j9VD6e1soh3oqo1_400.gif[/img] (And it's Facet, not Faucet. A faucet is a tap, a facet is one reflective side of a many-cut surface, like on a gem.)

UK time. Sorry for timezone-related delays in responses. They/Them.
@OpalineRose Iridescent and Shimmer are pretty easy to do by filling in the dragon's color with a gradient (like from reddish purple to bluish purple, I usually pick colors directly from the dragon's head/tail) and then adding shiny highlights on a layer set to Overlay above.

@OpalineRose

The actual artist made an Official Cry/Face Tutorial, if you'd like to take a look at that.
