I’m self taught. My blends don’t have that pop effect. I feel like they look flat. I’m not sure what to do to fix my blends please give me advice. My fade method half gaurd closed and blend the line out. Then 1 gaurd open and closed and use half gaurd to finish that line. Then 1 1/2 open and closed. I want to move into a shop but I’m not confident in myself to take the step I’ve already spoken to someone.
