Yet another blend. I ran out of idea for what brushes I should use and where I should put the brushes.

Here are a couple of blending suggestions:
- Use better pictures. The pictures you used in this are good and high quality, but they don't really fit together. For example, in two out of the three pictures she is a blonde and in the other one she is brunette. It just doesn't...seem right to the viewer.
-Change the opacity of the brushes. They don't necessarily have to be the same..thickness all of the time.
-Make a color scheme. Use two similar colors and have them recurr throughout the piece. Like in this instantce, you solely used black. What about integrating another color?
-Swirly brushes arent the greatest for applying texture. Search the big book of resources at createblog for more texture oriented brushes to create a nice clean look.

Keep on practicing!
