Digital Painting Digital Painting MCQ 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which blending mode multiplies the base color by the blend color, always resulting in a darker image?
- Screen
- Multiply (Correct answer)
- Overlay
- Dodge
Correct answer: Multiply
Multiply mode multiplies pixel values together (dividing by 255), darkening the image since combining any color with black produces black.
Question 2: What does the term 'value' refer to in digital painting color theory?
- The hue of a color
- The saturation level
- The lightness or darkness of a color (Correct answer)
- The opacity of a layer
Correct answer: The lightness or darkness of a color
Value describes how light or dark a color is on a scale from white to black, independent of its hue.
Question 3: In Photoshop, which keyboard shortcut creates a new layer via copy?
- Ctrl+Shift+N
- Ctrl+J (Correct answer)
- Ctrl+Alt+E
- Ctrl+G
Correct answer: Ctrl+J
Ctrl+J (Cmd+J on Mac) duplicates the selected layer or copies the selection onto a new layer.
Question 4: What is 'color temperature' in the context of digital painting lighting?
- The physical heat emitted by a monitor
- Whether a color appears warm (reddish/yellow) or cool (bluish) (Correct answer)
- The number of colors in a palette
- The gamma correction value
Correct answer: Whether a color appears warm (reddish/yellow) or cool (bluish)
Color temperature describes whether light sources appear warm (orange/yellow tones) or cool (blue tones), measured in Kelvin.
Question 5: Which pressure-sensitive stylus feature allows artists to control line opacity by varying pen pressure?
- Tilt recognition
- Pressure sensitivity (Correct answer)
- Barrel rotation
- Multi-touch
Correct answer: Pressure sensitivity
Pressure sensitivity detects how hard the stylus presses the tablet surface and maps that to brush attributes like opacity or size.
Question 6: What is the purpose of a 'clipping mask' layer in digital painting software?
- To merge all visible layers
- To restrict a layer's visibility to the shape of the layer below it (Correct answer)
- To lock layer transparency
- To apply a filter to multiple layers
Correct answer: To restrict a layer's visibility to the shape of the layer below it
A clipping mask clips the content of one layer to the boundaries of the layer directly beneath it.
Question 7: Which color model uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black) and is primarily used for print output?
- RGB
- HSB
- CMYK (Correct answer)
- LAB
Correct answer: CMYK
CMYK is a subtractive color model used in color printing, where inks absorb (subtract) light rather than emit it.
