Yes! Blending is one of the biggest advantages of alcohol-based markers. There are several ways:
Choose two or three markers within the same colour family that share similar intensity and tonal value. Start with the darker colour, then laydown the lighter colour next to it. Use the lighter colour's brush end to blend and soften where the two colours meet.
Alternatively, use a colourless blender marker: Helps soften edges and create smooth transitions. Use where two colours meet to blend together (included in the Crayola 40ct, 60ct, and 120ct sets). It can also be used to lighten darker areas or add highlights, operating similarly to how an eraser works.
Layer similar shades: Start with light tones and gradually add darker ones. Allow ink to dry before adding the next layer.
Work while wet: Blending is easiest when ink is fresh on the page.
