In this chapter, we started actually applying color to our images. We started out by discussing reference layers and how we can use them to make our color flats easier with anti-overflow brushes and bucket fill tools. Then, we explored how three of the many blending modes available in Clip Studio Paint can help us shade and highlight our images. Finally, we used the Lock transparent pixels option to make line art that wasn't flat black.
In the next chapter, we are going to start wrapping everything up in our Clip Studio journey. We will discuss the many ways we can export our work for display on the web and in print. We will also address some print shop considerations in the next chapter, too!
