Description After the last image of 'Savannah' and since pieces like 'Mario' and 'Milla Jovovich', people have been asking me how I do skin in notes etc. So here is a brief outlook on how I blend and what brushes I use etc.

I am not a master so this is just what I do. I am sure there are many other ways to do things and more efficient ways. But if this helps anyone... Great!

The brushes are NOT ALL mine. A lot of have been gathered over the years from other artists and I have changed and messed with a few and narrowed them down to what I use.

Hey I have a question. How do you pick your skin tones? Do you use a reference? Thanks for the tutorial.

Yeah I always find its helpful to have reference. Although DONT colour pick. I have a set of swatches with skin tones I have picked up along the way so that is helpful for me. Just experiment

A, Mr Summana you are too kind. This tutorial looks excellent, and it's great to have your brushes. I had downloaded your 'chosen_brushes19' in the past, so I guess number 37 is an upgraded version.

JoshSummana In reply to PhantomV13 [2013-04-20 18:21:26 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it is an updated version. But the one on the link is the very last brush set I have uploaded

But not a problem . I hope it helps you. Its pretty basic but hey... Never done a real tutorial before lol.

Nah, it's splendid. For better tutorials you could include speedpaints, wouldn't that be a nice touch? You are acquainted with them (damn, why am I speaking so formally?), and you could also build your YouTube channel that way.

Sorry, I just bother all people repeatedly to spread on all websites. But it could work for you

Thanks again for the tutorial!
