Testing out different blending modes and this was the result XD also I just wanted to draw the fish man lol

[bramalamania]

whenever i draw i dont use blending modes because i like to do things the HARD WAY

but also because i prefer to exercise my knowledge of color theory. i didn't do all that studying for NOTHING!!!🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 i love slapping blue on top of the pink as highlights. and i dont really need a screen or add layer per se. i could just yknow find the color on the color wheel. yea. love making life harder

I was messing with blending modes and accidentally made terrifying images with my Kevin art so here’s how they look + how to make your art look like this

(These can also be used for color picking, anyway there’s a lot so here’s everything under the cut)

⬆️ (Light Blue (HEX CODE: #9ddcff) + Subtract blending mode)

⬆️ (Light Red (HEX CODE: #ff93a2) + Subtract Blending Mode)

⬆️ (Light Purple (HEX CODE: #d19fff) + Subtract Blending Mode)

⬆️ (Darker Red (HEX CODE: #5e0100) + Color Burn blending mode)

⬆️ (Darker Red (HEX CODE: #5e0100) + Linear Burn blending mode)

⬆️ (Dark Cyan (HEX CODE: #005e55) + Linear Burn blending mode)

⬆️ (Darker Red (HEX CODE: #5e0100) + Overlay blending mode)

⬆️ (Darker Red (HEX CODE: #5e0100) + Hard Mix blending mode)

⬆️ (Dark Purple (HEX CODE: #120925) + Color Burn blending mode)

⬆️ (Dark Purple (HEX CODE: #120925) + Linear Burn blending mode)

⬆️ (Dark Purple (HEX CODE: #120925) + Overlay blending mode)

⬆️ (Dark Purple (HEX CODE: #120925) + Vivid Light blending mode)

⬆️ (Dark Purple (HEX CODE: #120925) + Linear Light blending mode)

Do you have any tips on how to use layer modes for shading and possibly other cool stuff?

There are a lot of different blending modes that are standardized across digital art software, all of which serve different purposes (or the same purposes but in different ways), this video actually does a really good job of breaking down each one into separate categories of what each one is built for along with visualizations of what they do!

The nice thing about blending modes is that they're, again, standardized across practically all digital art software, so once you learn how to use them in one software, they're pretty much the exact same in others. They're a staple of digital painting but like any tool they can be overused or used incorrectly, so really the best way to learn what works and what doesn't is to try them yourself! Make some shapes and colors and put new layers on top with different blending modes applied so you can get a feel for all of them and figure out which ones you like the most. I find in general a lot of artists don't tend to use all of them as some are VERY purpose-specific, but there are definitely some commonly used ones that a lot of artists employ in their kit of tools, such as Multiply, Overlay, Color Dodge, and Add (Glow) !

Have fun and happy learning!

a small process for my recent underwater illustration

sorry if it's very random, but each step looks cool enough to be its own thing so I wanted to put it out somewhere haha

shadow jaden/the dark king, kind of, a small thing. He got so traumatized. Poor guy.

NEW ART POST!!!

Here, I drew Wanshi(or Banji Idk), member of the Strike Hawks in Punishing: Gray Raven.

Really like how this one turned out!

Yes, this was more practice than serious because if it was serious, the pose would definitely be better.

I used lots of brushes and experimented with a lot of functions. Main brushes I used were watercolor and blurring marker.

However, the sole reason I was even able to reach this result is one function that is severely under-looked…

Blending modes.

You may have noticed this little thing while drawing and glanced over it, but trust me, it’s a game changer!

It’s never explained or anything, so i’ll help you get used to it.

There’s a lot of blending modes, but there is only two you will mainly use, add and multiply.

Now, i can’t exactly explain this, so I’ll have to just show you visually.

Multiply is for shadows and add is for light/glow

Let’s start off with multiply

I’ll just be using my drawing of Nishi as an example.

Alright, you must create another layer on top of the layer you want to blend on. You can clip it for efficiency.

Just choose any color you’d like and fill in the area you want to shade

Turn on blending mode to multiply and you should see that the color has turned darker.

Don’t fret, because you can always adjust the opacity! This mode is best uses for shadows.

Adding time

Do the same but this time, turn on add for blending mode.

Boom! Easy glow effect! You can use this as your lighting tool for highlights and etc.

Play around with the blending modes more often! It’s really worth it! Hope y’all learned something.

As for the background, just used a crap ton of filters.

P.S, totally didn’t forget to add the mole and had to edit this post.
