Okay but... what tool do you use to blur the shadow edges? I normally use the "add water" or "grainy water" blenders, but you said "with the same brush"... how does it work?

Well I used the blenders first as well, but found it annoying that I had to switch brushes all the time - it took so long xD What I do, I apply very little pressure with the pen and with the lighter colour selected (or darker if you want to put more emphasis on the shadows) I colour over the hard edges of the shadows. You'll notice that you won't get two solid strokes but a stroke with gradient on the edges. Choose a colour out of that gradient and repeat the proces. Remember; press GENTLY, as little pressure as possible, and then keep picking new gradient colours and keep stroking until you've no longer got several strokes forming a gradient but a smooth "blended" edge.
Hope this answers your question.. you might want to take a look here though: [link]
