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

This is an epically awesome tutorial. But to be honest, the spheres of skin are creeping me out. xD
I hope I could use this in the future.

Holy SHIT! This is amazing!
I didn't know that simple white dots could make the skin more realistic
May I ask something?

Thank you for these basics. I really appreciate how you show the colors and strokes next to how they effect the skin (creases, various injuries, etc.)
