gahhh.. i dont know if i should have put this
under "photoshop" or "opencanvas" or just "misc"..
cuz it's for a combination of both, or either one..

well, ive been wanting to do a skin tutorial for a
while now. so here it is, finally. im not claiming to
be an expert - this is just how i color skin.

the instructions are for using a combination of
photoshop6.0 and opencanvas1.1, because that's
how i do it, but you can essentially do the same
thing with just one of the programs, or any photo
editing software, just by tweaking the instructions
a little bit. i hope it's easy to understand...

designed for beginner to intermediate artists.
if you've never colored digitally before, this is
probably not the best tutorial to start with, unless
you already understand how to work brushes and
layers. but if you're an advanced artist, im sure you
already have your own techniques, but perhaps you
could pick up minor things from this. good luck! ^^
