Painting. I didn't have SAI anymore since my trial ran out and I was trying to paint in a program called Fire Alpaca. This was probably a mistake, since Fire Alpaca has no blanding feature. Though it's possible to get a blended look without actual blending, it's just much easier in SAI. Fire Alpaca is best for lineart and sketches. The paint bucket is also really smart compared to SAI and Photoshop.
