Description My first tutorial, and its about blood. Well that's a great surprise to anyone who knows me.
Done because I've had several people curious about how I do my blood in pics. Alas, I'm really not sure if I'm that good at tutorials (seriously guys, look around DA, I'm sure there's better blood tutorials out there). This tutorial was done in PhotoShop Elements 3.0, as that's the program I use. Although if anyone has any other kind of photoshop, this will work there too.

For anyone curious about the fellow at the bottom of the tutorial hacking some blood up, that'd be my Cin (Cinereous)... what, you didn't think Tsuichi was the only one I did mean things to did you?
Art and Cinereous (c) me, Nataku

I suffer from KBS. My blood tends to either look like ketchup, melted jell-o, or a menstraul puddle. X(

Yeah, but being a woman isn't a reason to be modest all the time.

Keep it up fuzzy, I'll draw your blood next *sharpens claws*
Eh, all the same, maybe you'll learn something from it too, if you ever do some more digital art.

Who knows, maybe one of these days you'll get yourself a tablet, and then you'll have the same stuff to work with that I do.

Pfahaha.... no I don't. Lacie draws the pretty humansssss, which I can't. And pfft, I liked the blood on your Kenshin pic, that's actually one of the pics I always used to really enjoy the style that the blood was done in. There's always many styles to draw blood in, I couldn't possibly go over all of them, hell, I don't know them all myself.
