Description
Finished Colouring - [link]Well, here is a tutorial I put together on the way I colour skin ^^
As I've said in the tutorial, I use Photoshop 7.0, but I'm pretty sure you could probably do this in any version, but don't hold me too it
Also, this technique is used with a mouse... I don't have a tablet, so if you don't have a tablet, it doesn't matter
I've erased the nose lines, but you don't have to, and you can also use the blur tool to soften your erased parts, I tend to on the nose
But apart from that, I think that's pretty much it... if you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll help you out the best I can
If you use this tutorial, please let me know and show me the result... I'd really like to see it
Hope this helps...
ENJOY!!!!

That's a really smart way to work! A lot easier then trying to get the colors blurry and smooth with just a mouse! *epic fail here* I have to say that it's very fascinating to see you at work!!! + You can't imagine how honoured I am that you used my lineart for a tutorial!! Thank you sooo muchly!! *bows*

It's taken me like about 3 years to get this technique down pat and it was only recently, like the last 2 months, that I've gotten to a stage where I'm happy with it.
Besdies you are WAY!!!!! better with your backgrounds and clothes, I envy your ability to do both of those!! I still struggle
And, NO! Thank you for letting me use your lineART for the tutorial, I thought it only fair to use one of your lineART's becuase it was through your lineART's that I guess I "Perfected" my technique.
So THANK YOU MELLY!!! Thank you so much

I love this! I might not be able to allow myself to put everything on one layer (Yikes!) but I LOVE your closeups; they are going to help me with my shadowing a lot I think; thanks so much for sharing!!!

Are you talking about about the first step?
I guess a way around that is to do it on seperate layers and merge them once your ready to blur
But as long as all your layers are merged by the time your ready to blur, it doesn't matter
I'm glad it helps and thank you very much for the

I guess it depends on how much skin needs to be coloured, on average it generally takes me about 30 to 45 mins, the bikini series generally takes between 45 mins to an hour.
But it may take you longer becuase it's a new technique
I hope it helps you none-the-less
Thank you very much for the
