What kinda brush you using?  I have tried time and time again to make something even remotely close to this and I think it's the kind of brush I use.  But then again, I haven't really experimented with many brushes still ._.  I only use PhotoShop and AutoDesk, sooo...AD doesn't have many brushes and still learning PS CS6

I just use regular brushes, the kind that come with Photoshop? But I tend to stay around the soft brushes, with varying opacity

And it always helps to have a skin tone slab/palette/thingy. If I didn't have that then this would not be half as realistic as it is now

Here's some good skin texture brushes:

I think if you added in the skin texture, this would be by far the best tutorial ever I think it looks amazing, and I love how its not just pictures and one word descriptions, but I think what would bring it to life even more that would even make lil Miss Rihanna say WOW would be skin texture : )

Wow, thanks a lot for the comment! Yeah, I would LOOOOVE to add some skin texture but alas, I am no professional T_T and as a result, I do not know how to properly add texture to skin, otherwise I would

But again, thank you very much for the positive comment, I'm glad you like it!

Haha thanks, I'm glad you like it!

I hope it was helpful to you! lol, I was worried that it would just turn into a tutorial on how to draw Rihanna and not be helpful for anything else, haha!

So yeah, you're welcome!
