Description Skin is fascinating, this is not a skin tones tutorial but more of a skin optics kinda thing. Btw I never went to art school or whatever, so erm, this is not the absolute word on the topic, just a collection of thoughts.

For info about what brushes I use check out the Blending Tutorial:[link]

I'm using Photoshop CS2 and Wacom Intuos 2 for this.


Edit: apologies to those of you who are freaked out by the little skin balls, hahahahaha, sorry really

the bruse looks pretty real. As well as the wrinkles and veins.
It looks so simple here... O_o But, I'd probably still have trouble if I tried it.

This is an amazing tutorial. I've never had any luck with portraying skin, but now you've clued me in to things that I feel silly for not noticing before. (Saturation!!)
Thank you so much for this.
