Tutorial - Smooth Skinby *SnakeToast

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Drawing & Painting / Photoshop

I was asked how I managed to get smooth skin... so here is the answer

IMPORTANT! I didn't invent this, but for the life of me can't recall who did! I take no credit for the method.

Such a helpful tutorial and you comments about the brushes thanks for that I too had the same problem as ScarletComet.

no problem!

You just saved my life right there...

I'm diving into this digital painting and just can't seem to get it right. This was (part of the reason) why, haha. Thank you so much!

Also, that idea of having the pic in another window is genius....

my pleasure!
I find there are so many little methods to learn along the way, and tips to make workflow better-- which reminds me, one thing i didn't add to this tutorial was that I color pick by holding alt while in brush mode in photoshop-- it makes the process a million times faster. (alot of people didn't know the shortcut...)

Anyhow, glad if it helps, and feel free to poke me with questions if you need. I love to share

Awesome, thanks for that tip!
I have Photoshop, but I mainly stick to SAI right now. Still have trouble with PS~ hopefully I'll get a bit better though.

And... I just might do that. owo;

The learning curve on photoshop is steep at first, but don't quit!

The only problem I really have with it right now is switching brushes and finding the right brushes and stuff, and making it blend better. I keep trying to make custom brushes with different opacity settings and the like, but every time I try switching brushes, the settings are the same. It's a pain to reset. :/ Do you know how to fix it?

If you have a brush you modified that you like, open the brush palette in photoshop (windows>brushes). Make sure you are in the Brush Presets tab and hover your cursor in the space between the brush thumbnails and the scroll bar. your icon will change to a paint bucket. Click there and you'll create a new brush that will appear at the bottom of your brush set.
If you want to save that set, there's the option Save Brushes within the dropdown menu hiding in the top right of the Brushes window...

Hope that's what you meant and that it helps!

And yeah, blending is a painstaking process... Resist the airbrush, though! too smooth...
