Normal blends - when you blend one color into another instead of having a sharp division.
This is my inexpert example of blending the marker vs. just laying them down next to each other. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/telophase/marker-blending-example.jpg)
This is an example of Minekura's blending. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/telophase/hakkai-example.jpg) She's used blending as well as not blending in this one - look at Hakkai's left cheek, on our right. You can see where she's blended the base yellow into the white she's left as highlight (that's the page left blank for highlights, like watercolor), and the shadow orange into the yellow ans his cheek curves away. Of course what we're looking at may not look *that* much like the original - it's been shrunk down (she worked big on the marker book's picture, so I'm assuming that she works big on all of them) and has gone trhough two reproduction processes - printed in the book, and then scanned again - all of which reduces detail, which means that she may not be that much more blended than I am in the example I did.
