Skin tone gradients

Support and Advice Bundles and resources help
1

Hi. Are there any skin color gradients available for Krita? (to be used for gradient coloring via grayscale) I see that preparing gradients is pretty difficult in Krita.

I moved your topic out of the resources category as that is where resources are shared. Your topic now resides in the support and advice category for bundles and resources.

I knew a resource from DeviantArt that no longer exists. These gradients originally were offered in Photoshop-Format, but can be converted.

Unfortunately is the Deviant, who uploaded them in 2010, no longer on DA. Because they were offered free of charge, and with no restrictions added to them, I took the freedom and uploaded an archive to my cloud, which contains these Skin-Tone-Gradients readily converted into GIMP-Format.
As usual for my downloads, you’ll find also a copy of the DA-Page where they were offered, and the pictures that belong to the original package, and in this case also the original Gradient-Resource-File for PS.

Here is the link to these gradients in my cloud, it will expire in two days:

And here is a link to a gradient-converting web service, you can input different gradient-formats and choose even more formats to convert the input to:

Have fun, and always happy painting!

Thank you so very much @Michelist You’re a real hero. So, can these gradient files be imported as they are to Krita or do they need to be converted to a format suitable for Krita? (I have no idea about importing gradients yet).

You can use them in Krita as they are.

Maybe you like the following sources too, both are available on DeviantArt, they are free of charge, but you have to convert them first before you can use them in Krita.
Here you have to follow the link to Gumroad, there are also two videos linked you may find useful:

This one is downloadable from DA:
