I'm in love with the texture in your art style 😍 is there something special you do to not over blend or smoothen stuff out?

thank you!! honestly what i do is just use a brush with the blending setting adjusted to pretty low, so i do the blending by picking transition colors/gradients myself and sculpting the shapes with brushstrokes, rather than by letting the brush blend in the nearby colors. the latter is a totally valid technique though and works great for digital watercolors for example! all depends on what kind of effect you want to achieve.
