I'm having a hard time using the smudge tool, I can't seem to get the same effect as MadPotato's. Can anyone explain me the steps to create that awesome effect?

You too! :] So do you work for some company in the art division? Because if not you should.

Alright so I have to tell you about the most awkward thing that happened today, I saw a picture of a Pumpkin glaring at a potato that someone did in cartoon style... Just thought I throw that one out there.
