[Talk] Do you use a lot of layers? How do you manage them?

[Sheep]

Layers are an obviously important part of digital art. When you create art, do you tend to make a lot of layers? How do you organize them? Do you name them? What layer formats (multiply, overlay, etc) do you tend to use?

i use a lot of them

i dont name them anything
and helplessly turn it on and off
in hopes of getting the right layer

multiply is life for quick ez shading
overlay i just like them
___ dodge for glows

When I make something big I tend to name my layers and create maps for it.
But when I don't need more than 10 layers, I will just leave it nameless.

I often use mulitply, overlay, color dodge and shine.

I use very few layers when I make digital art. I like to do as much as possible on one layer so I won't get confused.

While i generally like to use layer, i hardly use them when doing pixel art.

This. This is so real for me it's painful. ow

Also I only layer pixel art when animating. Bad habit. :<
