Program Overview

- Style Versatility: Apply shading across American Traditional, Japanese, Neo-Traditional, New School, and more.
- Color Packing: Bold, even packing of black and color for solid, saturated results.
- Shading Techniques: Blended blacks, diluted values, and smooth transitions across tones.
