[Edit 21/07/2010] After a few comments about the font being to small and it being hard to read unless downloaded i have now revamped it so that the fonts are larger - hopefully it is name easier to read and understand, thanks for all feedback and views so far! Also, many typos but i havnt got time to fix them all at the moment, will do in the future.

If you still find it hard to read please just DOWNLOAD it - it's much easier that way :'D

Hmm...Just a question but would cotton swabs also work with blending?

JackEavesArt In reply to MetalHead9000 [2010-09-06 08:56:15 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes they will work, i actually started using them after this tutorial. They are used best for the smaller areas where tissue is too large, but you can use them for the whole piece depending on what size paper you are using.
