Ayy, welcome back:). And thanks so much for the critique. Some of those tips are immediately helpful for an illustration I'm working on right now. Also now I kinda just wanna go and paint some magical effects haha

LESSON NOTES

In this critique you’ll learn about blending modes in digital painting software. Blending modes are a tool that can help fix paintings on the fly, create cool effects, and try new ideas quickly. The critique shows how to make quick changes through blending modes and how to reinforce the overall round form of complicated materials. It also teaches you how to create a magical spell effect that emits light and how to adjust colors and values as needed. There’s several different types of blending modes for you to try within Photoshop, including multiply, screen, overlay, soft light, hard light, color, hue, saturation, and luminosity. It’s important to experiment with blending modes to find the best one for the desired effect.

It’s time to look over your blending modes assignment submissions! In this lesson, I’ll review your submissions and give some feedback on what is working and what can be improved.

Much happier with this outcome than the previous attempt, I'll have to look into the demo on the previous attempt to get a better idea of how the artist rendered the figure.

Feel like I bit off a bit more than I could chew here, getting the concept but don't quite think I've got it just yet any thoughts for improvement?

Think I'm going to give this one more shot after watching the critique, need to let the blending mode on the layer do its work instead of the brush. When you apply the blending modes on the brush does it cancel out the blending mode for the layer or does it have to used suttley?

@Jon Neimeister I wanted to draw an issue to your attention as the class creator, not sure where to direct this issue. The class is now being subdivided into folders by subject, which can have some benefits. But the problem now is there's no way to follow the classes chronologically or in their earlier order. I wanted to go through a couple of them again, as well as download files for a trip I'm about to take. There's no numbering to them so I can't follow where I need to jump to in the folders list. Is there a way for a chronological order to the videos can be placed somewhere for student use? Sorry to bother you, but help would be greatly appreciated.
