5. Use the Smooth tool to go over your rough sculpt with a light pass of smoothing (no more than 0.25
strength). Then add another multires level to bring the levels up to 5. You can move up and down your
multires levels with Page Up and Page Down.
Tools for Incremental Refinement

for this purpose.
Smooth A key element of the refinement process is the Smooth brush, which you used in the previous exer-
cise. The Smooth brush may sometimes seem counterintuitive, because it can remove or minimize sculpt ed-
its you have made with other brushes. Nevertheless, for the best possible results, you should use the Smooth
brush frequently, often set to a low strength. Sculpt what you want, smooth it over, sculpt again, smooth
again, and sculpt again until the result looks its best. Regardless of whatever tool you have active, you can
always use the Smooth brush by holding Shift while LMB sculpting.
