Drawing a sphere perfectly is much harder than you'd think when you're restricting yourself to opaque brushes and trying to not rely on crutches too much

Hey guys, your plugin is WONDERFUL! I have a question I can't seem to find answers for though!

My thing is see-thru in the weirdest ways, and I can't seem to figure out how to make it opaque. It's very hard to work with like this.. could I trouble you for assistance?

2) middle tones of each plane
3) high chroma colors, opaque lights, softening and hardening edges

Orchid genetics are pretty opaque, so the genetic system in NOG is fictional (with an effort to reflect reality). Wide Bars comes from 1 barred gene + 1 marking gene that strengthens it, Barred is 2 barred genes, and Weak Bars is 1 barred gene + 1 marking gene that weakens it.

I noticed they changed the Sentinel visor in YuYuYu S3 to be translucent instead of opaque like it usually was in the KuMeYu LN illustrations. It's an interesting change but it makes a bit more sense to be like that in animation.

Common sighting in cel-painted cartoons, where you can see specks in white areas.

I was told that, with white paint, you really had to pour it in to make it opaque, or this happens.

Love the details of every flower, bud, leaf, bird, insect. This has to be one of Shaikh Zain Al-Din's greatest paintings.

Experimenting with less lines, softer, not as opaque, simplifying and focusing on overall aesthetic vs absurd detail. The other picture is to highlight my typical heavy line art, which I feel only looks better without color.
