Amazing, I use a Wacom Tablet too, but I could never paint like this.

@kieranfivestars Hi and thank you very much! I've really benefited from art classes. There are 2 videos on my channel about the school I attend. Look for Declare Success Your Major 1 and 2 if you're interested. Thanks again!

im sorry i have 1 question what do you uses to blend, ive looked at smudgeing but i dont like the effect it gives, (overly smudged even when i change the settings or to blurry)

[JephyrX]

@enterusernameplz I generally use the the stock airbrush and work back and forth between the colors I want to blend - selecting colors, shades and tints etc that are in between those I'm blending - working it until there's a smooth transition. Often beginning with a higher opacity brush and reducing it as I make the blend. As you've discovered I've found this produces a more controlled blend than any digital manipulation like the smudge tool. Hope this helps
