For a larger version, download the attachment; it's the same jpeg as above but you can view it full size and see the layers in more detail.

So, this is one of the reasons I was hesitant to do tutorials; this is something I use a lot, but I don't know on an intimate, technical level. Most of my digital art skill is self taught from using PS for the past 15-ish years, so I learned mostly from experimentation, which is why I can't give you info about a lot of these haha. Above I mention a more thorough REAL tutorial I found online; you can view that here: http://photoblogstop.com/photoshop/photoshop-blend-modes-explained

Another thing; the purpose of a tutorial is to show you how the tools work. I outlined here my personal preferred methods, because I feel it's something that compliments my lineart and subjects, and it's something I've spent a long time discovering. The idea behind this kind of tutorial is that you'll experiment with these tools and find solutions that work best for you. Please don't just copy paste my settings onto all your future artworks and call it a day. They're settings, obviously I don't own a particular combination, but it's still a bit discouraging when all someone takes away from one of my tutorials is how to better copy how I do something.

As always, feel free to ask me questions! If any of this is confusing or you want more details about something, I'm happy to help :)
