Description
Redid- for better viewing....Stock needed:
Dancer from 123rf.com [link] But really any free arabian/belly dancer from a back view will work
Smoke brushes [link]
This is my very first tutorial...and I think its 100% proof that I actually have no idea what Im doing in photoshop, so if Im taking the absolute longest hardest way of doing this; please don't laugh
I really hope you are able to follow it 
I did the tutorial with the background turned off and a plain black layer in its place... the colors do look different in the tutorial then on my finial piece because of the layer setting. The tutorial is to show you what settings I used and how I made this and I found that the original background got in the way. So when you are finished make sure you have these layers above another background, as the lighting will look much better If you do use this tutorial, please let me know... I would love to see what you create and fave it
Enjoy

Looks like dA has a new PDF viewer built-in - I can actually view it in-page without downloading! Pretty sweet, and I may try this out with some tutorials I've been thinking of writing. 
Cannot fault you for the layout. Only problem I'm seeing is that the colours seem to have been reduced, resulting in some banding and odd pixellation. It appears to be a fault of the way that dA is displaying it in-page - when I open the PDF in a separate tab in Google Chrome, the colours are fine.

Yeah it does look pretty pixelated in the preview but is pretty clean in the actual PDF file

I did redo - so its more visually appealing and maybe/ hopefully easier to view for everyone

I get nothing but 15 little boxes with a green and red design inside.
I think you mean to say "See final image here for full credits:" Not finial?

opps, thanks Bob.... not sure why the green boxes???? hummm.... maybe its the browser???? I did it on Google Docs, (since I don't own word for my mac and a PS file would have been huge) so there's a little black box with an arrow in the right corner that you can click and it should open it up in google docs.
Yeah... Im a pain in the butt... and it's not the most visually appealing tut, but it is my first

Guess what. it worked today (both ways). You sure used a lot of layers and clipping masks. One thing that does not make sense though is when you say to create a new layer, make it screen, open quickmask, open cloud filter,close quickmask to get the marching ants (so far so good), but then with your large soft brush (will very low flow) start clicking. It doesn't matter that you went through thecloud stuff to get the ants, because on a transparent layer, those marching ants mean absolutely nothing (for them to mean anything they must be over selected pixels = which would mean selecting another layer with something on it).
All in all a good tutorial, but you should go back and proofread it. Fast readers may wonder what you mean by: "Now make a new layer for each part of the bosy you are working on" (ha).
Oh, and the links only work on the one using that small box (google docs).

Actually, the marching ants do show up on an empty layer
I think Im going to redo it in PS anyways... make it look prettier... so I will definitely proof read it again... I did do it really fast the first time

I know the marching ants show up. The point is they show up on a transparent layer, so they do nothing. When they show up on a layer with something on it, they restrict what you do to within the ants (so you can't color ouside the lines, so to speak). Does this make more sense than how I stated it before? If not - sorry!

You could very well be right about that - but doing this through quick mask and rendered clouds the marching ant marching ants end up being selections with a feather added. So yes it does go outside of the lines but the opacity is lower because of the difference clouds. If you painted in the whole page with100% opacity, or even just filled the layer. It would end up looking like the difference clouds, not a solid color. It gives you a very cloudy look with half the effort. Please do try this... It really does work

You are right, it works. Tried full opacity with one click to cover the screen just to see. Then I clicked a few more times, and sure enough, though the color got darker, it did retain the cloud difference. Thanks! Cool!
