I had some bad luck with this one. I had one idea of what i wanted to do but it wasnt coming together so I scrapped that. which was about a weeks worth work. Then i switched to a different idea since i thought i could do better with it, which is what i posted. But after working on it for a almost a month the file got corrupted when I got a random power surge. So I had to completely restart. so another few weeks worth of work I got it done finally. I know there are issues with it but I think its time to move on and work on the other assignments before i fall too behind. Maybe I'll come back to it and fix it up.
But I did get plenty of time to play around with layer modes :p

ASSIGNMENTS
Try experimenting with some of the blending modes I showed you in this lesson and see what they can do!
You could colorize a grayscale painting from the previous assignment, or start a new painting and use blending modes to speed up your process. This is a good time to experiment and get a feel for the blending modes that work best for you.
I tried to spend less time on setup and more on the lessons content this time. So I grabbed an older grayscale project I had and started to lay in the flats.
In hindsight I should have spent more time with the flats I think.
Something that helped me with painting the shadows layer: TURN OFF PRESSURE SENSITIVITY!
You want to paint in the shadow areas with consistent opacity and leave gradients only for the soft edges.
I kept painting over and over to fill in the shadow area evenly as my pressure sensitivity required me to use many strokes until an area was filled. This meant that it was difficult to get a clean hard edge and difficult to get a consistently smooth gradient.
My painting became A LOT LESS MUDDY after turning off pressure sensitivity and keeping it at 100% and focusing on drawing the correct shadow edge with as few strokes as possible.
I'm not happy with the result but I feel like I am finding the sources of my frustration and tackling them one by one.
