>>5796492>If you were to apply a broad gradient in trad you'd use a very wide soft medium right ?FWIW, not always: eg. in oils, it's often recommended, especially for /beg/, not to blend / to rely on optical blending. Basically, trad's hard round. In wc, you can achieve a lasso-like effects by wetting the paper first, and dropping/moving wet paint within to achieve soft transition, but it's not always desirable/the best option.
But people using airbrush/doing graphs sure work as you suggests.
