Hi All,
I am trying to make very large drawings which involve lots of overlaying symbols. I am having trouble getting the coloring correct though.
I have made a library of tree symbols using black stroke and white fills to allow for upper trees to block out any areas beneath them. I was then hoping to Multiply the tree layer over a background which will be a blend of many colors. This works well when using a black stroke. The issue comes when I make the tree stroke a colour, resulting in different end results after multiplying.
I need a way of having a consistent tree colour while the background colour changes. Any ideas? If it helps, I can expand all the trees out to individual lines or even all fills prior to attempting to Multiply.
I have tried Edit > Edit Colors > Recolour Artwork with no success. To me its like I somehow need to 'flatten' the artwork after multiplying the trees when they are balck and then doing this recoloring?
See image below for the steps I've describes, the colors are just representative and I have used two block colors rather than a gradient to more clearly show the difference in color after multiplying.
Thank for your help,
Josh
