Could you share the specialization on your watercolor tool?
Also, it almost looks like on step 5 you lightly line the shading, do you, or is that my eyes playing a trick on me?

Hm, this is the first time I've seen a technique like this being used. That seems more comfortable for me than the standard soft shading method. I'll have to try this Thanks a lot for the tutorial.
