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

Very nice, useful tutorial - though I wasn't really freaked out by the skinballs until I got to the veiny one on the bottom! :S

This is really amazing, I never came across a tutorial like this. I'm glad I did now, this is very insightful. The lighting and transparency bits are my faves. Great job on this!

I dont draw or paint realism, but am thinking about it, so I decided to look at this and
omg its so realistic it almost scares me, to see the skin in a sphere and have all those details

you are amazing i love you ; _ ;

That is an incredibly useful tutorial, however, it would be nice if someone did something like this with darker-skinned humans.

If you have the time, I'd challenge you to do that. =3
