Description Another tutorial I made after people asked me.

Just a little thing I forgot in it: At the end once everything in the tutorial is done I flat out all the skins layer togheter (but not the gray one!) and clip it to the base gray one.

I hope this will help.^^

why do you color it grey first? I've seen that people do that a lot but I don't ><

It's because the gray layer is used to clip the color on top. So like this you won't color outside the lines. (I don't clip the skin color when I am doing the shading but once I merged all the skin layer togheter I clip the "skin" layer to the gray. So like this the colors fit perfectly and there is no mistake hole that would show the background.^^)

OH~ Ok. I've always wondered why people did that. My program doesn't have that fancinest (or doesn't allow me to figure out how to)

I use Corel Painter Essentials 4. It's more for (in my opinion) digital paintings, illustrations, and photo rendering. I'd love to have SAI, but I am a Mac user and SAI only works for Windows. Then I'm too poor to get Photoshop.

I see.
I always wanted to try corel painter but I do admit that I am quite attached to my SAI.XD
For photoshop I'm lucky someone gave me an older version.^^'

My friend said she might give me one of her old versions, but it's such a hassle, I'd hate to ask for it. >.<
