Feathering y Stippling

To the left is a common coloring method for me. To the right is stippling. Messing with opaque colors on separate layers. Just opaque dots, not translucency.

I made a custom brush in Manga Studio that, instead of opacity, regulates the density of dots and the size of the dots in a stroke based on pressure.

The density of the dots in the stroke, and the size of the individual dots themselves, increase or decreases with pressure allowing for color blending with solid spot colors. Kind of a pointillism brush. It's a brush that makes blending colors feel like using a colored pencil on a coquille board. This is super handy for limited, spot color printing like screen printing for tees or posters.
