I am super curious how others do their smudging (or lack of) I'm trying to find a few things to add to my style
Any help is greatly appreciated |

Before smudging, I sharpen my horse so it will be easier to keep details, highlights, and shadows. I then smudge on a soft brush at 20% strength. I always start on the shoulder of the horse and work back. I then go in with a smaller brush on the same strength (sometimes slightly lower strength) to smudge the legs and face. After smudging, I usually either resharpen or go in and draw on shadows and highlights. |

I have a very easy, yet strange, way of body prepping. It's make absolutely no sense if 1) i tired to write it out 2) you dont use photoshop.
it is in line with this: https://www.deviantart.com/rhiaan/art/Prep-Repaint-Detailing-Tutorial-516389029 |

Thanks all @Jello I don't use photo shop but I can adapt the tutorial to fit my program;) |

I adapted mine from a bunch of tutorials
I basically smudge my body all over with a 9% soft brush on a seperate layer so I have control over it. I just smudge it all until it's all blended together. Then I lower the opacity of the smudging layer so it looks kinda smudged but not too much. Then I remove any noise on the main layer, and do the highlighting and shading thing in the tutorial. |

First I usually reduce noise, and then I duplicate my horse layer and clip my new layer to my old one. This keeps the edges clean. I smudge the top layer with an 8% soft round brush, making sure not to blur out any of the details now I wish to keep, such as fine facial features, muscles, or any other defining features.
The end. :) |
