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I figured that a lot of my tutorials were getting a bit out of date for my method of working.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

thanks for the really understandable, explanaining help. it really helped me a lot going forward, I never figured out how I had to arrange and set up my brushes in a way that would make a painting better, to pour more feeling in it, you know? if you hadn't posted the comment, I would not know where I would've been right now. thanks!

Oh gosh I love this tutorial Even though I don't have a tablet (and would really love one but I has no job :B) The section on hues helped me a lot to build up a good pallet.
Thanks for such a detailed and informative tutorial

What version of Photoshop is this tutorial aimed at?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It uses very basic tools, so it should work with most versions people have. I use CS3 but I know it'll work in CS and earlier versions; it'll probably work in 7, assuming it has the Chalk brush. It might work even in versions below 7 if they have the Chalk brush or if you can get hold of it by download. It might even work with Elements, although I don't favour Elements myself.
It's not a tutorial about fancy tools and filters. It's just a basic painterly one that discusses more about colour theory and how to handle texture so if there are tools similar to those I've described in other programs (i.e. Painter) it'll work there too.

It doesn't look like wool, don't be silly. But if you're really concerned about it I'd recommend that you try to loosen up your strokes a bit; not so that you scribble all over but try to kind of make sweeping motions, if you know what I mean?

Thanks SO much for this. It will be so useful! ^_^ Especially the points about freckles and blemishes - that's been an impossibility for me.

The trick is definitely to use a big canvas - when you zoom in, it might look messy, but when you view the whole thing zoomed out, it looks much better.
