Apologies for my awkward penguin-ness and all that white noise xc
Play around with different brushes and settings to get the desired look you like.
NOTE: This is not the ONLY way to blend in Photoshop. There are brushes and other brush settings one can use to blend with. In fact, a combination of blending brushes and this tool is great!
**This is PERFECT for mouse artists who can't use pressure sensitivity or special blending brushes (made just for tablet users)!
**This method works just fine with tablets as well
This isn't me putting down SAI at all, just showing a way where you can blend in Photoshop like you can in SAI.
This tutorial /should/ work for PS 7+.

00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,980
Hey ya'll, it's Sam. I'm gonna be talking
about blending with Photoshop. This particular
2
00:00:04,980 --> 00:00:10,179
version of Photoshop is CS6 but it can work
with version 7 and up. This blending technique
3
00:00:10,179 --> 00:00:14,990
is similar to Paint Tool SAI's "water tool".
If you aren't familiar with Paint Tool SAI,
4
00:00:14,990 --> 00:00:19,900
this is Paint Tool SAI. I just slapped down
some colors with the pen tool. The water tool
5
00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:25,699
is excellent for blending. You can see how
wonderful the colors transition into each
6
00:00:25,699 --> 00:00:33,710
other. And it's not really a tool that Photoshop
has. So we need to find our own replacement.
7
00:00:33,710 --> 00:00:41,250
And that would be the smudge tool. Now just
using the tool by itself, you can see, yeah,
8
00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:45,700
it's not that great for blending. It kind
of just pushes the colors around and it's
9
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:51,670
just really ugly. You don't want to use that
for painting. What you want to do is go over
10
00:00:51,670 --> 00:00:59,580
to it's brush settings and set it to scattering.
A percentage between 30 and 50 is pretty good
11
00:00:59,580 --> 00:01:07,759
for it. And you can see how it's so much better
with blending. It's really close to the water
12
00:01:07,759 --> 00:01:14,729
tool and it just makes painting so much easier
and a lot better in Photoshop. And that's
13
00:01:14,729 --> 00:01:19,810
pretty much it. This is just one way to blend
in Photoshop. It's really helpful for those
14
00:01:19,810 --> 00:01:27,060
who don't have a tablet. So yeah, that's pretty
much it. It's a pretty simple tutorial, but
15
00:01:27,060 --> 00:01:32,520
it does a lot, it's very effective. I hope
you enjoyed watching it. I'm not an expert
16
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,829
in Paint Tool SAI or Photoshop but if you
have any questions, feel free to leave them
