do u use hardbrush 91% ?
turning the mouse speed down helps too!
and make circle movements to change the opacity of the smudge to give it some depth

its easier to manage with a tablet but

start with a bigger hardbrush then work your way with a smaller one

use longer strokes

the part where you use outer glow you used way too small of lines to outer glow

and that sig for the tut the guy made annoys me.
not only tyrese its just the flow of it and the focal of it is so off

here's what I ment about the circle technique thingy..

might help, idk

this is the thing

smudging is hard because of habits you made from not smudging

you have to learn to use long and less strokes over short and more strokes

its alot easier with a tablet.

also the trick of the above is retracing your steps

basically going back to the trail you made and reworking it

just think of smudging as pushing and pulling youre basically pushing what you grab across even if you've grabbed nothing you're pushing that nothing across

practice makes perfect.

another tip if you zoom in to smudge, zoom out every once in a while because you might mess up the flow of the sig if you don't check and get carried on with smudging happens alot to me
don't be afraid to grab the brushtool and add some more in to smudge or press ctrl alt z when you make a mistake
