Description
WARNING!!! HUGE FILE!!!!!!!! O_OFor
My first tutorial!
I am bad at them, which is why I don't make more of them >_> I'm not entirely to the level I want to be in photoshop painting yet; but I've found a process that works now.
I hope some people find it useful, anyway

I have had a lot of trouble finding a ralistic painting style that will work for the way I draw and my skill level at the moment. I think this one s going to work very well considering I know have some actual tradition drawing for Graphic Design School under my belt. Thank you so much for this tutorial.

i find so many tuts on DA that don't even explain them that well or skip huge steps (for beginners to realistic painting like me)
yours, however, is perfect, step by step and everything, especially the shading and lighting (my worst enemies
so one word:
THANKS

you have talent, with practice you will most certainly get better~~
hint: probably try copying from real life pictures. It gives a biiig boost to artistic skill. It's what gave me an art jump a few years back.

Sorry to bother you but I don't get picture 6 and 7. Can you help me? What do you do?

Uuum yah those were confusing! O.o I should fix that....
This may be translated a bit more:
I duplicate the second shading layer, set it to "color" and play with the color until it looks teh right color of shadows for the picture. Then I use a dark, low saturation skintone-type color and paint the darkest shadows unter the 'color' layer
...If you have more questions, just ask ^^

Hmm. Just one for now XD
When you say under the color layer, do you mean the one that I copied from?
