Scars and blood killing me everytime. x'D

I want to make an accent for one of my dragons on flight rising. He's supposed to have scars on his wings, but his wings aren't like...human-skin color. (here he is flightrising.com/main.php?p=la⦠). What I want to know is...what colors should I use? I would like to do number 3, and I assume I would still use the reddish color (cause blood), but what about the rest of it? Just try to match the color of his wings?

that is nice spiral dragon 
I guess with dragon skin there is not much need of reddish color... and it's not some albino dragon with no pigment.
Now depends how experienced you are with photoshop, I wouldn't bother with colors, just add two layers . one set to multiple and use grey or dark greyΒ to darken parts of scar that are in shade and second layer with overlay setting probablyΒ and use gray or light grey to lighten parts that are alighted.Β now I dunno if these accents support transparency

I'm pretty sure they support transparency as I've seen some accents for the festivals are translucent in some places to allow the colors of the dragon to show underneath it. Although I don't think the effect of multiply and overlay are carried over in the accent. I haven't used multiply much lately (or...drawn much at all lately), but I think it only shows up when there is color in a layer underneath it, correct? I don't think that would work with an accent...well, it doesn't matter. I understand what you're trying to tell me, so I'll figure out exactly how accents work and then make it. Thanks for the advice, though!

No problem at all.
I did this tutorial long ago. Would maybe use bit different tools now

Ya. I found the blur part a little hard but I think blur in Gimp might be different to Photoshop and Sai. It sort of smudges like a dirty finger rather than a smooth blend. Still, this is the BEST scar tutorial on the web. It's really helping me understand the process.

i love the design for the 4th kinds of scars, ive been trying this for a while but i just dont seem to get it. although your tutoral is really good, i dont understand the steps >_< im sorry.. but could you explain them to me a bit more?
π: 0 β©: 1
I see
4th scar supppose to be deeper where tissue- closing wound didn't raise up above skin but edges of scar are still swelled and bit higher.. (drawing scar needs bit or medicine thinking too ) also depends how much is scar already healed
when creating such scar think how was this scar made with stabing.. cuting.. burning .corroding.. and more gore stuff
also depedns on your drawing habits
before drawing edges of scar is better with some grey shade draw line for scar remebering shape of body .. it will help also feeling that scar is part of skin. if you making outline for scar is better to use thinner line or maaybe bit fracted line it shoudl help same way -to fade scar into skin.
with shading it self depends if you plan some dramatic lighting or not really
you can make scin aroudn scar bit more pink also depedns if it's on tanned skin.. new tissue covering wound is always less tanned ..unless it'S his natural color this color should fade to other skin and shouldn't be much darker then you shade inside part of scar with darker color... in case I woudl have scar outlined I woudl now take whiel color and made while line out of lines of scar adn sligly fade it to sides.. you can erase bit of while if it'S too much..
and some parts inside scar cen be bit darker... scar isn't usualy healed evenly
when you have have some dramatic lighting and scar is bigger and you want make it look going into the skin and not above
think about it like if it's walley or hill and skin is arth surface it will define which side of scar is darker and which lighter..
if it'S not this case and you need some more simple looking wound
generaly.. wound generaly will be darker and more pink
if scar goes into skin is darker in middle and lighter on edges and if goes above skin.. top is lighter and sides are more darker to set this off
not sure if I helped you...
