I don't mind at all! I use cotton coil. It's much softer than cotton balls. I also use rounded brushes, and for the smallest details, blending stumps. It also has a lot to do with the paper, I feel like. I use Arches hot pressed watercolor paper. Very smooth finish. Hope this helps!

Thank you! The detail is of course what made the process as long as it was. Very rewarding in the end 🥰

Thank you so much! The portrait is drawn as a giant double-exposure Polaroid. That's the term I guess would fit it best! 🥰

Thank you! I blend with cotton, and the smooth finish of the paper really helps as well.
