This class has been super helpful in understanding the difference between these three mask effects. Before I really didn't understand the benefit of each and when to choose which one. Thank you for making it so clear and easy to understand. Attached is my monstera leaf project. I used the layering and masking techniques you taught me to do the outline I fill colour, central stem and then used a clipping mask to shade the leaf. I also added texture to the central stem by using alpha lock.

The second image is the project template you provided us which I adapted using techniques you showed us and really had fun putting my own spin on it.
