| There was some discussion of how to paint believable skin. You can make really good skin in a 3D program using all the different channels to assign properties but you can do a pretty good job with your 2D program. In the attached zip file you will find a quick test I did with all the layers saved in psd format which can be opened by many other graphics programs. I hope this gives you an idea how layers can help you create some pretty decent skin textures. Note: The zip has the texture with layers. The download button at the top is just the flattened skin1.jpg. |
