You can try using Just Add Water, or any of the other Blender variants. Most brushes can be used as a blender, by the way, by turning the Resat amount to 0%. Hope that helps!

Is there another brush I could use other than charcoal that could give similar results? I don’t have charcoal as one of my options.

Thanks for the great tutorials!!!

I have taken a few classes for portrait paintings and can use helpful tips which I can now add to my portraits. What I picked up today that was very useful is to re-color the pupil and then paint both light and darker colors. What I can provide in exchange is that after the catchlight has been painted with soft charcoal then use hard charcoal at about 1/2 the brush size of the soft charcoal and as close to the center as you can, go ahead and paint a few strokes at roughly 2/3 the length. The your catchlight pops a little more. Thus if your soft charcoal was at a size 7, 34 opacity, set the hard charcoal at about 3.5 , and 50% opacity. Your catchlights will pop when printed as well perhaps on the web.

Best Regards

Don
