I have been having trouble with blending colour into shading , do i need spit shade the colour into the shading as everytime i lay it down solidly it just looks faded and not cleann ?

[Mykechambers]

@Twattoo666 it depends on the type of watercolor you're using.

[artbymandi]

What type of paper are you using if you don't mind me asking?

[Mykechambers]

@artbymandi Arches 140 cold press

This is amazing, I've been trying to do this type of work myself but I'm having some trouble with the shading. Is it just a matter of practise, or is there a certain brush you use for shading the black? Or a certain technique? Thanks

[Mykechambers]

@elliot12345678 the is a certain technique for any craft. i taught myself to paint

[IbanezFreak614]

Nice! Do you let the black dry before color? When applying the color how do you keep it from mixing with the black?

[Jefestone]

@Mykechambers the india ink or the black acrylic drawing ink?

[Twattoo666]

@Mykechambers i have been using Talens ink, i mean i have got black shading dialed. But i just need to find the right technique for blending colour to shading, almost want that kind of airbrushed blend.
