An archive tutorial on arranging a flexible shading layer, then comparing a night scene, sunlight, and a forest setting. The software interface is from 2019; work on a copy and look for the equivalent blending and alpha controls in your version.

Places to begin.

A small exercise.

  1. Step 01

    A simple base

    Make a small drawing with flat colours and save an untouched copy.

  2. Step 02

    Build one shade layer

    Try the demonstrated layer arrangement on the copy. Give each layer a plain name so you can find it later.

  3. Step 03

    Three small versions

    Compare a cool dim setting, a warm bright setting, and a soft green setting using the same base drawing.

  4. Step 04

    Review the values

    Check which version keeps the subject easiest to read. Save a small comparison sheet alongside the editable source.

Keep a copy.
