"Now, that we've got the shadow areas deepened we're going to soften up the edges. Ok. Remember, you want a clean dry brush. So, at a certain point you're going to have to clean the brush out and come back for more blending. We're still continuing to blend and we're going to work back in some other color to it. Remember, everything is correctable. If it's too dark, you can lighten it with white. If it's too light, you can darken it with the appropriate colors. So, you can just continue working on this until you get it right."
