Happy April Fools! It's an actual tutorial video lol. Enjoy!
Truly evil activities
Im crying because ive been trying to figure out how to blend for a week and keep failing let's see if this works 😭
It took me months to years to get a system down, and then more months and years to improve and grow into new techniques that worked better for my goals. It takes practice, but each attempt gets you closer. You got this!
@@sambeawesome Thank you!!🥺
use blur tool my friend
Thank you ❤😊
Thank you I have been looking for this type of tutorial that actually helps for years 🥺
You’re amazing 🥲
Thank you so so much for this tutorial, you're a lifesaver 💗 💖
Thank you
dude you're awsome thanks
Wow this smudge tool with scatter is something new to me. It looks like the mixer brush tool but I don't know how to use it properly. I usually don't like to use the smudge tool too because you need to drag the colour perpendicular to the edge, which doesn't lead to a result I like, but your way, with scatter, makes it possible to drag the colour paralel to the edge! Super cool. Never thought about it. I need to try it. Thank you so much. I've been struggling a lot with blending these past years, and I realised that on digital it was MUCH easier to just keep the same approach I had on traditional. On traditional I was used to paint with hatches. On digital I was always trying to make some pasty oily rendering - which I'm defenitely not used to - thinking that maybe I would be able to shorten the path this way. When I just gave up and started making hatches patiently on digital, it just worked smoothly 😅, but sadly, I am cruel to myself so I really wanted to learn how to get a more oil painting look 🤦... Why don't I just keep it easy for me?
Update: hey Sambe, I'm new to your channel. Thank you A LOT. Where did you learn this scattered smudge tool technique? I just tried this today and it works like MAGIC! 😳 Really, guys, you have to believe me. You can push and pull horizontally like the classic smudge tool (it works better with scatter) but it also works smoothly vertically to get intermediate tones and for smaller adjustements just like Sambe demonstrated. It's sooo much more automatic than the classic smudge tool, I can't stress that enough. The only downside I feel from these automatic blending tools like smudge and mixer brush is that they KILL texture. I'm fond of highly textured brushes, so if I want to keep texture IN the gradients, it's still better to use the normal brush with the highest flow level as possible to manually make the gradients. I'm not necessarily talking about the "texture" feauture in Photoshop, which by the way I don't use in order to get textures.
Hey, the mixer brush tool with scatter also works super well, and it kept my desirable textures, much more than the smudge. Just wanted to add that both mixer brush and smudge don't have the Dual Brush, Color Dyn. and Wet Edges, but smudge has Noise and mixer brush has Texture. Although I like to use Noise, I got much more dirt with the mixer brush, with the brush stamp I was using today. ✌
I've been doing digital art for 3-4 years now but I'm rusty and basically forgot how to blend because of how lazy I am to recall. But personally this isn't the way I'd do it because it's the longer/harder way
There is no right or wrong but y'know. There are easier ways
But this doesnt seem like a smooth result though?
You can definitely make it smooth, it just takes a little more time and patience :) I did it rough and quick in the video just to get the point across. (UA-cam Shorts aren't a long time to explain something x'D) Feel free to check out other digital-related content on my videos though to see more of my painting process in action, if it helps :D
What kind of apps is that
I use Photoshop, but loads of digital programs nowadays have similar features and functionality. If you need something specific, no doubt YT has lots of tutorials tailored to whatever program you have :)
I use CSP, will it still work?
jk jk but no, really, will it still work?
MS Paint only
jkjk ...unless?
No but I know nothing about CSP. I'd imagine they'd have a similar thing to the smudge tool, but no idea what it is. Maybe one day I'll buy it just so I can figure this stuff out and also get all these fancy brushes I keep seeing that's CSP only #sad
No😅
No way
JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU ALL SO MUCH ❤
