Hello everyone!

Finally, I can present a real tutorial!

I detected this tutorial to my lovely watchers, friends and people who what to be a better artists.

I been using a lot of other artist tutorial and now it's my turn to share something.

I apologizing for my grammar mistakes and my poor English. I hope you will not criticize me about that, but I hope you will like it anyway and will find it useful.

I recommend

- Easiest way to learn how to paint/draw is to take some useful art books - study colors, anatomy, shadows and light and have a lot of practice, more you will practice the faster and easier will you paint/draw. Remember to be patient and don't give up on hard tings push till you have what you want and don't be lazy.

You can download brushes that I use in this work - sta.sh/01sekbm275n

Sereh-94 Featured By Owner Feb 11, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Thank you so much for sharing this. You really helped me a lot.
May I ask you a question? Seeing image number 7, and then the 8th one, it looks clear that the colors have become smoother. How do you do it? I use smooth brushes and also the blur filter, my result is pretty decent, but yours looks definitely something more.

nev777 Featured By Owner Feb 8, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

best skin coloring walkthrough ever! whoop! thank you so much ^^ not only did you instruct on the tones you used as well as where to put them, but also why (I suck at adding "warmth" to skin tones

)

KillerTortoise Featured By Owner Sep 13, 2012 Digital Artist

thank you for this tutorial ,, i like digital painting so much but every time i try to practice it , it seems really hard ,,so i don’t know should i have a tablet like wacom ,, or it’s okay to paint with the mouse ?!!

hurdygurdyguy Featured By Owner Aug 13, 2012

Nice tutorial! I downloaded the brush tool preset file, but I can't get it to load in Photoshop (I use PS CS2) ... I put the tpl file in the PS>presets>tools folder and use the tools preset manger to load, but I get a "can't load tool preset ..... because of a program error" .. any ideas?

nom-nom-pancake Featured By Owner Aug 13, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

I have no idea, but maybe just maybe it is because of version of PS.

hurdygurdyguy Featured By Owner Aug 13, 2012

Ahhh, I did a google search and it turns out tool presets saved in CS5 are not backwards compatible to earlier PS versions (they were in CS4 ...) .... too bad.

hurdygurdyguy Featured By Owner Aug 13, 2012

Hmmmm, that's possible ... if so, that's too bad, those hair brushes looked good! Thanks anyway!

cleiment Featured By Owner Aug 12, 2012

thanks for the info! hope you can post more.....

Journie Featured By Owner Aug 8, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Wow! Thank you so much! I don't have Photoshop, but I do have GIMP, so I can follow this pretty well. I'm relatively new to digital painting, and I've had a hard time finding tutorials that will 1) work with GIMP or 2) actually explain how to do everything without using all the confusing mumbo-jumbo. I'd never known how to do the texture on the face like that. Most tutorials would just say "And add the finishing touches," etc, etc, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, thanks!

LittleRock34 Featured By Owner Aug 5, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Too cool ! thanks for this tutorial but i tried twice and missed the skin every time

shadowblade275 Featured By Owner Aug 4, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Hi
Could you please help with this.[link] I used basic hard(hardness 75, opacity & flow 57) and soft brushes (hardness 30, opacity & flow 20) and I chose 5000/3000 pixel and 300pixel/inch canvas.
I couldn't make it that smooth. I tried smudge tool. then here's the result on the forehead.I use mouse. Could you kindly tell me whats wrong with me?

amkumar Featured By Owner Jul 17, 2012

Amazing..

RoodynRoomnok Featured By Owner Jul 12, 2012

woooowwwww

NicaRox2006 Featured By Owner Jul 10, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Do you color over or under the lineart? i get so confused on that part....

nom-nom-pancake Featured By Owner Jul 10, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

The base color, shadows and lights I color under the lines and then I merge the layers together and paint the rest of work in single layer.

bdunn1342 Featured By Owner Jul 1, 2012 General Artist

Glitza Featured By Owner Jun 23, 2012 Student General Artist

It's beautiful! The coloring is so well done. It's amazing how you went from sketch to this and you make everything seem so easy. I'm envious! It's crazy good. The pores, the earring, the shine of the eyes and everything else is just lovely.
Much thanks.
