I was just thinking that this kind of blending would make a good JavE feature.
I hope some good shading tools emerge in the next JavE version.
I can think of blending , darken , lighten , subtracting.
And I still think it would be great if one could draw lines with whitespace ..
like :

88888888P d8888
8888888P d88888
8888::' .::8888
8888:' .:::8888
8888' .::::8888
888P .:::::8888
88P d8888888888
8P d88888888888
