will be trying these out for hours lol. Btw I think that the lighten and darken modes use the base color that you paint with as a reference, so in lighten for example, it will try to rise the value of all the pixels you paint on top of until they reach the same value that the color you're painting with has, anything that already has that value or a higher one won't be affected, or at least on the value are, not sure about the hue/saturation.
That's why using lighten with pure black and darken with pure white doesn't change anything, as there aren't colors that are darker than pure black or lighter than pure white. And if you choose to use the lighten blending mode with a very dark color, very few parts of the illustration would be affected as those would be the only parts that have a value that is darker than the color you use to paint with the lighten blending mode, and the same would apply to darken of course. That's something that could be very useful to know to better use these two specific blending modes!

Yes exactly! I was thinking if I should explain "what they do" mathematically speaking but ultimately went with "what situations should you use them" bc I felt that's easier to understand. Both concepts are helpful to know either way, thanks for sharing :)
