Okay! Since your portfolio looks like you do a lot of subtle shading and blending, you might find some more tools really useful.
Try experimenting with using other things! Cotton balls, q-tips, blending sticks, small pieces of soft cloth (try a square cut from an old tshirt, or an old pair of jeans), kneadable erasers, or a chamois—All of these are either cheap (if you don't have them already) or free (if you do!).
What you blend with affects the look of the blending. Using different tools can help you get a smoother look, or achieve different textures.
Hahah i was gonna draw it to...but im sure it would have been hard for me to do it...because of the pain and sadness it brought...im suprised i even did the sasuke and itachi one......but my own version.....its all about brotherley love!

Yeah, I kinda messed up on the teeth. I'm too lazy to go back and fix it.
Blending? Uh...my finger?

Wow, lots of emotion in this piece.
His teeth look kind of strange, but I can't put my finger on what's wrong with them.
What did you use for the blending?
