    Ok before you start, pick a base, lineart and blending color !! I usually only use three colors to make the process simple !! For brushes, I use the first three air brushes depending on how sharp I want the lines to be

    [Smooth shadow tips] After doing the lineart, use the 2nd or 3rd airbrush with your blending color to follow along the areas you want a shadow to be If you want the shadow to blend in better, try to pick another color from the lighter pixels formed the edges (in the second pic)

    [Soft lineart tips] What i like to do for soft lines is start with thicker lines then slowly trim it down with a smaller airbrush! Note: if you want sharper lines this step isn’t necessary
