ok then, please dont laugh when you read this, im just curious and if you neva ask, you neva know  ...
anyways, you know how you can dilute kuro sumi ink, to make a grey wash effect on the skin right. wel i was wondering if you could do the same to colours i.e red, blue, pink, is there a way you can dilute these to get a fainter colour or is it a technique you have to learn by gong deep in the skin, to reach desired effects? |

| You can lighten colors a certain amount by watering them down, but you should lighten them up by using a non-opaque mixing white IMO. |
