"Now, I'm working on, continuing to work on putting the darkest areas of the pods in. And then I'm going to come back with this and gradate out and soften the areas. And then fill out the whole rest of the pod. I may have to add some more color. But that's no problem. I've got plenty of it left. OK. So I'm going to add some color. And with a detail brush we're going to go over the opposite edge to define it a little more. But most of the darks are going to be on the left hand side. And it's OK to make it mottled because the pods are not totally smooth anyway. Tweak the outside shapes of your pods at this point."
