All these words remind me I'm not cut out for this art thing lol
At least the term opacity has more to do with physics than arts.
Opacity is related to how much something lets light pass through/transparency.
like a sheet of metal is opaque, a sheet of paper is semi-opaque, and a sheet of glass is not opaque (clear).

In art they usually make parts that are a highlight/shade with a solid color in another layer and then mess with its opacity to kinda control how to blend it with the base color accordingly.

Yeah I just smeared bright purple everywhere then turned the opacity down a bit to make it lighter/see through

But I'll probably go back and shade normally cause apparently the opacity thing doesn't always translate well across devices
