Description I've been meaning to make one for a while now, lips are the simplest things in the world to paint but it's actually deceptively hard if you don't know what you're doing (and I don't really either, but... hopefully I know just about enough to pass on some wisdom). Meh, anyway, I used Photoshop CS but it should work with just about any painting software in the world.

Hmmm, sorry if some of the things on here isn't very clear, feel free to ask questions.

P.S I'll probably make a better one when I'm not feeling so lethargic.

Your tutorials are great! Would you consider doing some for male features too? Males are much harder for me to draw than girls.

Your tutorials are very helpful; thank you so much for taking time out of your schedule to make them.

One question though...and I see a few other people have asked it; which specific brush do you use? I have Adobe Photoshop CS3 and have yet to find the kind of brush that achieves a smooth wispy affect that makes the skin of a portrait appear soft and blended. Help? <333

a1984niceguy [2008-03-24 09:43:33 +0000 UTC]

i think the problem that everyone has is that its hard when you're adding details to get the "Value's" right ..
where the shading and highlight should go and how deep and what color ..
since its not easily outlined like an ear , or a body..
because of how we see things

lol imagine art if we saw like rattlesnakes thermal vision or more..(radio/motion/radiation/)
