this took me like 2 months

I use krita

I was trying to try some thing new instead of my more cartoonish/anime style but whenever I tried to do any sort of blending all I really could use was this "blender texture soft" tool
I feel like I couldn't get any nice thin lines that were blended.

do you think I should try and use a different software, get gud, or is there some weird settings shit I can do?
