I click on three blending tutorials and get the Greek artists, who spends too much time in the opening and cannot understand. Just get to the point and work slowly. The problem with non-real teachers is they don't know how to teach. They just know how to do things, it's easy for them, and they rush along. This is MOST ever tutorial maker on YT!

[lukescheller]

My guy, you're a GOD.... I'm gonna watch this many more times and learn how to shade. THANK YOU for making this tutorial!!!

[eldaniels]

Yes! That's what ive been missing. Ive been wondering how to make my selections have a softer edge. Thanks so much, now i know.

[nizamuddinshaikh]

How many of you noticed the new intro sequence at the very start?

[chalala]

Best explaination ever, I love the way you aren't shy about definying the veins, and how does it looks in the end. Et voilà!

[logaslandgaming]

Now, this is a clear tutorial whose knowledge is not stingy even though I don't understand English, but with step by step I understand

[krisfosh]

The 1px feather is a really nice touch that I never considered before!

[ish-im-oto]

Finally a well explained tutorial that isnt rushed, thanks a lot man

[grimsonforce]

Easily the best blending and rendering on YT thank you for this.

[blackhoundrise]

This awesome video is about 15 min long. But I know that when I go and try to apply the techniques wonderfully and oratorically announced here, I will be on it for 3 hours+ maybe more. Gonna save this and give it a go. Blending on digital or even with pencils and markers is hard. So thank you for putting in time to help noob-noob-noobs like me to learn and understand this hard stuff. 👊🏽👍🏽

[ddSoul]

I'm not crazy about ripped characters but I instantly clicked your thumbnail showing such beautiful blending I just had to see! But your tutorial on all levels, incredibly explained things so well thanks! You've earned this like and subscribe even though I use Clip Studio I should be able to learn this with practice just from how well every step is so thoughtfully explained. I've been browsing tutorials on off for years but yours really clicked thanks so much
