Here is a stencil vs mask experiment that you can try if you’ve ever wondered what the differences are between the two.
This experiment is split into 2 parts.
Part one, we’ll create a really nice background using a stencil. In part two, we’ll do a mask vs stencil experiment and create a similar background using the mask part of the stencil.
