Summary
In this chapter, we focused on three commonly used modes, namely Multiply, Screen, and Add, as well as a brief mention of Hard Light mode. These were used to render different types of surfaces in different ways. Usually, Multiply is used to darken the base layer, while Screen is used to lighten, and Add is used when we want bright specs of light. In this specific study, we also used Hard Light to add a soft warm glow to the clock body.
If you have been following along on your own, you will have hopefully started to grasp the uses of blend modes. You’ll realize that these techniques can be applied to a wide variety of contexts, be it characters, landscapes, or any other subject. Procreate offers a variety of other blend modes, each with its unique effects. Based on your knowledge from this chapter, you will now be able to explore all of these modes in many different contexts.
