While in this movie, we're gonna focus specifically on detail. Applying color, using gradients, blend modes and opacity, to bring a flat 2D piece of artwork to life. So let's get started. This is the sketch we're gonna work from here. And I'm not giving away the full story at this point but I'm gonna take this sketch, and I'm gonna go ahead and set the opacity to 20, lock the layer, and I'm gonna turn on the base vectors and I'm gonna go ahead and zoom in here so you can see what's going on.
