Shading on multiple (pixel) layers at the same time


Recommended Posts

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!!

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)

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.
