Description Please note that this is really just a step by step of how I do things.
This is not set in stone and please don't take it that way.
But it's simply my little contribution.

This was done with a tablet and most of this probably couldn't be done without it. *nods*
Anyway...

nice tutorial. wanna explain to me what screen, overlay, ect does? and how do you/i know when to use it, or what will make it better

Sotalean In reply to xXpunaniXx [2006-11-18 03:03:19 +0000 UTC]

Screen and Overlay are two different filter-ish things on photoshop. ^^ One is a great glow or highlight mask(overlay) and the other is a great way to quickly at subtle light areas to an image (screen). It's really a guess work process when you're working with them. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. So my best advice is to just play around with it. See what you get. ^_^

I hope that helps abit.

Well, sorry I can't really take a look at it seeing as how my internet connection is slower than shit. But, learning to draw hair the way you do is definitely something worth learning !

Awh.. *hugs*
^_^
Why wouldn't I do a hair tutorial?
I love drawing hair. ^_^
I was thinking about making a skin tutorial but then I realized that.. *coughs*
Nobody would understand how I do skin because it's just guess work until it works right.. all on the same layer no doubt. O__o
