Join me as I show you how I use blending modes to add shadows, light, and effects to a piece with flat colors.

Since I didn't do proper lineart, I added basic rendering after the blending modes to make it less flat. I am not sure if I want to do concept art but still very useful tips, especially the effects with linear dodge and ctrl u to change hue.
Just saw that I forgot to redefine the bowstring.

i was excited for this lesson on blending modes. although i can't seem to make peace with that double edged brush, it ends up making "dirty light" for me, not sure why (i have the opacity ~70%). i started with that double-edged brush for the shadows but then had to go back in with the round shader and airbrush... lots of soft erasing shaping, eesh. i'm still trying to figure out light on form. i used a reference from gokurakugai (in black & white).

It took me some time but here is my attempt. It really does feel like magic to see a character come together after giving form to a flat drawing, especially when you have to trust both yourself and the process in the beginning stages (when things don't look so great). I will definitely return to keep using these techniques again and again, and the amount of potential seems huge.

An original character design for a friend. Tried to colour with these methods and it was really an eye opener. Would love any feedback. Using Krita, and still trying to find a brush with a soft edge and a hard edge.
Also, not sure how to rotate the brush to control the direction of the hard and soft edges. I may be missing something in my setup.
I am using a Surface Pro 8, with latest version of Krita.
Thanks!

Now I'm wondering if it might be worth it to take a break from this to try Dorian Iten's Shading Course you mentioned and come back after it. My shading is currently only okay at best.

I get so lost and overwhelmed with colouring, more like starting how to colour.
This lesson is exactly what I need and I'm excited to go deeper with more advanced stuff, especially when it comes to rendering materials and polishing up. So thank you :D
