What are blending modes and how do you use them in digital art? 🤔
I get some sort of variation of this question every single day and I've been trying to come up with a video to explain it all for months now. Seriously.
Blending modes can be super confusing at first but the key thing to remember is that you actually don't have to remember anything. I find blending modes to be much more of a "feel" thing than a theory thing - as long as you understand the main idea behind the 5 main blending mode categories, then you're good to go!
• Category 1: Darken (Multiply, Linear Burn, Color Burn, Darken, Darken Color)
• Category 2: Lighten (Screen, Add, Color Dodge, Lighten, Lighter Color)
• Category 3: Contrast (Overlay, Soft Light, Hard Light, Vivid Light, Linear Light, Pin Light, Hard Mix)
• Category 4: Inversion (Difference, Exclusion, Subtract, Divide)
• Category 5: Color (Hue, Color, Luminosity, Saturation)
Oh! And one cool thing: blending modes are very similar from one software to the other, which means you can follow along with Procreate, Photoshop, Ibis Paint, After Effects, and many other digital art/ design tools 😊
