This is a tutorial about my precious 'single layer shading' technique I invented while doing research on Pepper&Carrot. I explain how to setup the layer stack around the 'Hard Light' blending mode, how to use the inherit alpha and how to fill the layer with a mid-gray value (mid-gray is equal to fully transparant for Hard Light). I then demo the flexibility of this rigg by shading side by side three time the same character over various backgrounds with different ambiants (a night scene, a sunlight scene and a scene inside a forest)...

If you like my work on the videos, it is possible to help me to produce more: I made them as bonus in-between the release of my Pepper&Carrot webcomic episodes. The more I get support on the comic, the more I'll feel comfortable financialy to create tutorial on weekly basis. You can support my work via Patreon, Tipeee, Paypal, I explain all in details here: https://www.davidrevoy.com/static3/become-my-patron
