BLENDING PAINT

This is a tough one, I’ll warn you right now.  Blending edges where two colors meet essential, but it’s also very challenging for beginners.  In this video I demonstrate the ‘manual’ way to do it, though there are other ways we’ll explore later.  Unlike the previous videos, there aren’t any new tools or keyboard shortcuts -- this is all about practice.  If you’re new to using a stylus, you might have trouble at first - but believe me: it’s worth mastering this technique.  Since this is a core skill for digital painting, I’ve linked a few related videos to the right - check them out when you have a chance!
