Happy pride! I hope you find a space to celebrate yourself and your friends through art and creativity. It's no surprise to see LGBTQIA+ represented heavily in art!

Overlay is a super cool way to make digital art effects, but counter to what many think, it does *not* shade! Is there a blending mode that does? Take a peek.

(Whoops! Forgot to actually hit Post on this draft!)

Big one today! I want to take a look at *how* we learn creative things like art. It always seems like WAY too much to figure out from the start, but once you know the secret process, you can tackle it!

BLENDING MODES! It's time. If you don't know about them, they're a mystery! Once you've learned them, you can never stop. Let's learn simple shading with Multiply and Screen!

Some parts of your digital art app might feel too advanced to use. But most of them are pretty easy, and can make your art process easier! Let's take a look at one core piece: clip masks.

WIPs! It can seem like an ever-growing mountain of them for an artist. How do you handle the guilt of the growing pile?

Also: Q&A form's back up! See the video for the link.

Perspective & composition (the height axis).:
A few times i wanted certain composition effects such as "people looming over you" and got confused
Answers : there are basically 3 variables and two independent variables, two things to choose
- relative height of object to (height of vanishing point = height of viewer)
- relative height of frame, just include more "sky" or "ground" in the composition
My reference explainer:

Ever watched someone else draw and wonder, "how are they able to spend so much time adding detail?" It's common as a beginner to not know what to do with a drawing beyond an hour or two. What are you supposed to do?
