Blending in Clip Studio Paint is primarily achieved through adjusting the color mixing settings of your painting brushes. Here's how to effectively blend colors:
Understanding Color Mixing
The key to blending lies in the Color mixing settings found within the Sub Tool Detail palette under the Ink category. By manipulating these settings, you can control how colors interact and blend with each other.
Adjusting Color Mixing Values
The following parameters are crucial for achieving the desired blending effect:
- Amount of paint: Controls how much of the currently selected color is applied to the canvas.
- Color stretch: Determines how far the colors are stretched or blended together.
Optimizing Blending Effects
In general, to create a stronger blending effect:
- Lower the Amount of paint.
- Increase the Color stretch.
Practical Example
Imagine you want to blend a red color into a yellow background. You should:
- Select your brush.
- Open the Sub Tool Detail palette.
- Navigate to the Ink category.
- Find the Color mixing settings.
- Reduce the "Amount of paint."
- Increase the "Color stretch."
- Paint the red color onto the yellow background. The colors should seamlessly blend together.
