OK....... I too use InkScape, but maybe this will help..........
I too use the pen tool and because it is vectored you can move the line into any shape you want........
I do not fill.....not yet, so this is just a line usually 3 px in width....... you need a nice line, but not too thick of one.
Once I get the shape I want I use the blur tool to create a wet edge, or feathered edge. This is very much like the airbrush tool in Photoshop, in that it gives a bleeding edge with one color on top of another color.
When I an satisfied with that I use the pen tool again this time with the fill color of the line I just blurred. I create a filled object inside the edge of the blurred line and thus get the "sprayed effect" that I want.....
Does this help in any way with Illustrator?
Oh and I am NOT a master recolorer, this is just how I figured out how to do feathered edge camo on some of my recolors...........
