the worst and the best are not opposites in this case

I really loved "Fable II" in specific, because it let you have a house and a family. I had married one of the "Arena Bandit" girls who look kind of like the Gear Freak from "Okage: Shadow King". I was a towering transgender woman named "Brute" who looked like this.
We had a daughter named Poppet.

aaa sorry, you need to know how. i don't remember what it looks like in krita but over by your layers there should probably be a dropdown menu for layer mode. it might have the text "normal" by default

there are so many layer/brush functions that i can't imagine the use for but feel like they are there cause the math is possible

no class ever taught me this btw... i just looked at a lot of tutorials at one point so i know a small selection of things these digital tools do

oh, it "multiplies" the colors, so you get something like a darker average with the layer below. just made this example, the blue is on a multiply layer over the yellowish color. it appears normal over pure white, but you get this greenish muddy yellow where the colors overlap

like, the shadows on the vampire i did are a desaturaded red and look like this without the colors and line

you could try instead picking a shade of gray and set that layer to multiply. you'll get different effects by giving it a hue and just a tiny bit of saturation as well. it's still very much a shortcut, since it ignores that shadows have different colors depending on material and lighting

sorry about all that i haven't thought about coloring art in a long while

and for the shadows, more often than not i used to just make a shadow layer set to multiply. i'd have it be some suitable (desaturaded) color for the scene rather than a clean gray. when i try harder i try to think of how colors might shift in the light. not super confident about that tho

if i feel i need to test it out i keep each major color on a separate layer so i can control them independently. or in pixel art i like to work with a small indexed palette and modify it until i find some combination that works for me

i also try to make sure the base colors differ in value and saturation. not sure why other than lots of contrasts help legibility maybe? but also try to stick to just a few main colors. you kinda just have to try it and see what feels right. 2/?

haven't done colors in forever but... i try to pick out flat colors that i think look good together? just trying to be mindful of where colors are relative each other on the color circle, there's no super correct answer there, sometimes you want a big contrast and sometimes you don't. 1/?

what does shading but colored mean?

it made me feel i miss something deeply
um, i kinda have been pushing myself to make friends after reading it. not really hoping for that scenario specifically, but i was more painfully aware of how alone i've been feeling afterwards
