Tutorials tutorials!

Here is my new entry in the monthly Patreon tutorials, suggested by the kind supporters over on Patreon and shared with everyone!

This tutorial was sponsored by , as I drew her adorable kitty Banana Bread and explained how to paint a realistic tortoiseshell pattern!
In this tutorial, I also explain the use of layer masks, which can be used to draw very intricate patterns by selectively hiding and showing the content of multiple layers at once!

I hope you find this tutorial helpful!

If you do, feel free to post the results in the comment section below! No credit required, I'm truly curious to see what you create with it!

I upload monthly tutorials ONE WEEK in advance on Patreon!

Whoa okay, I have questions
mixer brush? whaaat? is that in clipstudio? It sounds hella useful.
since when does overlay do highlights? I tend to switch between overlay and multiply for ~darkening~ and use add for highlights. also, how do you get EITHER shading or highlighting to look good when there's a mixture of colors and values? I try that and it seems to always ignore one color or the other. Shading/highlighting over an existing pattern is my bane right now. At best I have to keep the pattern on its own layer so I can adjust the shadings on their own

Yup, Mask layers were just added in. I saw them in the patch notes... however, I don't very much know what they look like/ what I am looking for to activate it.
I'll let ya know if I do.

Oooo, alright. Thank you! I'll do some experimenting of my own too, and see if I can find them.

I just searched it up and I think I found it.
 
Its the highlighted one, if you click that then the clip button that should work

Augh that's a bummer DX
I'm honestly not sure if FireAlpaca does have them, usually all programs that use layers do, but because FA is on the simpler side in terms of interface, they might have omitted them
