More from *acidlullaby

The Rag Doll She built her home in tear drops
And gave her heart to the sky.
She tied up leaves
Around her sleeves
And pretended she could fly.

One morning in mid Winter
On a day that felt more like Spring,
She opened her ears
To the sound of tears
And imagined she could sing.

Overhead the birds would sweep
In sunshine or in rain.
Part of a crowd
They were happy and proud
And ignorant of her pain.

With a final farewell to teardrops
She climbed the tallest tower...
In her silent voice
She made her choice
Knowing freedom was in her power.

With her gaze up to the heavens
She felt then only peace,
As she took one step more
That trailed
Life and Death of Puppet Girl Once there was a puppet girl
Who lived close to the beach.
She wanted to go down to the sea
But it was always out of reach.

In her room by night and day,
Imprisoned by her strings,
She'd wait and sleep and sometimes pray
For the news the sea breeze brings.

One morning when the sun was shining
And the birds were flying high
She heard the distant sound of crying
That was carried through the sky.

The sound of this then grew louder
Until it filled her room
Until her drooping wooden head
Was steadily filled with gloom.

"Why won't this crying stop" she said
"Why won't this go away?"
"I want the crier to drop dead
And not disturb

Blending I find is always the hardest thing to master in digital painting. Blending Tutorial by *acidlullaby is a short and sweet tutorial that covers the basics without overloading the amateur artist. An easy, straight-forward guide that you can try in under 10 minutes and even better, it actually works! This is just one of her latest tutorials .

Hi, Thanks for your contribution. I've been practicing blending colors with this tutorial but I still can't make it just like you did. Not because I can't do it right at the moment, I just wonder, is there any function that you customized to do this? I mean did you also adjust the opacity or flow other than choosing a stipple brush? Let me know. Thanks.

This looks like it gives the effect of very fine brush-strokes, which is something I don't see in blending tutorials. Nice work!
