So I'm running into a dilemma, /ic/. I'm starting to do more digital still lives, and I'm having trouble shading on larger scales where the gradient is a huge portion of the piece. I'm working on this cup, and as you can see, there's a dark green gradient that I can't seem to blend easily with just a brush and changing opacity.

Any tips that doesn't involve in cheap photoshop tricks or the use of the gradient tool?

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 16 01:08:35 2013 No.1498729 mess around with your brush settings a bit, or look around for blendy brush settings

OP, have you watched some videos from ctrlpaint.com?
He does what >>1498743 recommended.

The guy tends to make a new layer, make huge brush stroke with a soft brush. Then he erases the edges and merges it down.

He shows an example here:
