You can see what I'm getting is this mottled pattern that's showing through. Maybe a little hard for you to see that initially, I'll zoom in. And I'm just going to work on a small area, and the way that I like to do it is I run the brush in all different directions. So I want to reduce my brush slightly, but I also want to reduce the intensity setting quite a bit. It's polishing it too much, but it's also leaving too many scratches, and that's not what I want. So if I went over this right now with the alpha, you can see that's not really the effect I'm looking for. So it has the same effect, however, you can't keep a high intensity. The way it really works, however, when I'm working on an object such as metal, it's almost as though I have a piece of steel wool or sandpaper, and I'm scratching the metal and I'm burnishing the highlights out. What I'm able to do is get a nice cross-hatched effect with this brush. Now, what that does, I'll demonstrate on the back of the ring the effect it creates. But I also want to change my alpha, working with alpha 58, which is sort of scratched lines. The first thing I want to do is increase, once again, my color. So now with my second layer of color, once again I'll paint a swatch in the back that I can grab later, I want to begin making this object look a bit more metallic, and there's a little bit of a trick that I do to achieve that.
