Description WAIT GUYS HOW DO YOU ADD THAT NICE CUSTOM THUMBNAIL PIC??

Whew finally finished.

Well this is the tutorial that I said I'll do all the way back in January. It covers basically how I color the face and hair.

Well I put a lot of work and thought into this, and hopefully those who asked will find it useful. If you are a beginner, you might want to read this as well:[link]

It's the tutorial that I first learned how to CG from .

For those of you read it, I'm curious as to what you think so please leave a comment if its not too much trouble.

I feel that I haven't explained some of the steps very clearly so if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them here.

Notes:
1: Example of LIGHT:[link]
Example of SHADOW:[link]

Wow... damn, this was helpful in more ways than one! (So many different techniques to learn...)

This will be certainly be of use. I'm kinda new to PS, Painter, & OC, but so far haven't been able to do things like blending correctli--thank you for that!

This is a huge help. I've been struggling with many aspects of digital painting for a while now (over on ) and this clears up some of the things I've really been stumbling on. I haven't gotten a chance to test these techniques out yet, but I expect that the color-picking in particular will help me get better. Thanks a lot.
