The brushes and papers I used were:
1.- Round Camel Hair texture, custom brush for paint details. With light pen pressure acts as a blender.
2.- Square Conte, for blocking colors and big color areas.
3.- Digital airbrush, for smooth color transitions
4.- Grainy water, I adjust the jitter to 0,39 for a better no-linear blending
5.- Real Blender Round, for blending on the oil way.
I alternately used 'basic paper' and 'coarse cotton canvas' changing the contrast depending on the area I'm painting or blending.
Step 4 - To paint the Jake, I choose a color palette that ranged from very saturated dark Prussian blue to a less saturated aqua blue. Now I changed the software and start painting the Jake in Photoshop. I mainly used 2 brushes: an airbrush and a standard custom square conte. To add the final small dots of light which Na'vi people has on their skin, I made a brush with a hard round brush and increased the spacing and made the shape dynamics responding to the pressure of the brush.
