Description
I figured that a lot of my tutorials were getting a bit out of date for my method of working. =/ I know you guys still use them. I guess they need updating, but people have been asking me for a skin tutorial for AGES, so I did one and I hope it lives up to expectations.Enjoy

Nice!!! I've been having troubles with creating a good skin texture... especially when it comes to the lighting... This seems very useful!!

No doubt you have extraordinare talent with difital painting. I like this "real" form of digital painting which you mention elsewhere as well, with the little-to-no use of all the extravagant tools and such. I'm still much of a newbie and have, of course, used most of them, but reading your tutorials and seeing your work inspired me to try and do it properly now that I've landed a tablet as well.
Thank you for the inspiration!

Because I've been having trouble lately with my skin colouring. xD;

I just used the basic circular brushes in this tutorial, set to very hard near the start and softer towards the end. What exactly went wrong?

It inspired me to try a different coloring style. I think it turned out nicely. C:

Lol GREAT tutorial!!! I've had problems with skin until now thanks to you! I mean I still need ALOT of practice on it... along with my proportions... but THANK YOU for this tutorial, it saved my life! I posted what I ended up with at the end. I used the same pose you used because it was an easy one, I hope you don't mind! You're in the credits though xD
Again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this tutorial!!!!

I like how you use varying colors other than just peachy colors with black and/or white added to create the darker/lighter variations. It creates a more natural, healthy skin tone. Excellent tutorial!

Yes, colour variation in skin has always been a big, big thing for me.
