gewoonm Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Hi all, For my artwork I have two pixel-layers, both containing the colours of my drawing. I would like to apply shading on both layers simultaneously using the approach described on Vimeo (*). Basically: adding a sublayer, set to 'multiply' and doing the shading there with the brush tool. I've tried: - adding a nested layer to one of the color layers and add the shading there, this works great (but only for one layer) - adding a shading-layer on top of the two layers, works on both layers but also every layer underneath How to solve? I've attached an image of my setup. Thanks!! *: vimeo.com/107563044 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted May 8, 2017 Staff Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hi gewoonm, Have you tried applying the shading to one layer then duplicating it and nesting the copy on the other layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gewoonm Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hi Lee D, thanks for answering! Yes, this is an alternative, but then I have to do this every time I make shading adjustments. So not ideal. Also, I may run into the problem that the shading doesn't overlap correctly on the other layer (since I can't "see what I'm doing" until copy/pasting the layer as a nested layer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Not sure I understand the request 100% but could you use a symbol? Then any changes that you paint onto the Shading symbol will automatically propagate onto all instances where ever they are located.

gewoonm Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hi Aammppaa, yup! That works perfectly! I can create a shading symbol and add it to both 'color'-layers. Thanks!! Aammppaa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
