You need a layer named Skin, or some name you will know it refers to the skin.

(First picture) I first started off with the main color I wanted her to be. In this case, the color was f2d8bf. I then shaded a little bit with another color darker from the main skin color, but not to dark. I chose f0cfb0. I made sure it was all relevant to where the light was coming from, and in this case the light was coming from the top left.

(Second picture) I wanted it to have a darker feel to it, and I did not want to continue shading in the same color of skin. So in this case, I chose a reddish purple. (b0687c) It may seem I chose more than that color, but I didn't. I just simply changed the ocopasity to my please. I made sure I wanted her face to have some bones to it, and not have it all flat. So in order to do that, I made the parts that will pop out more have little to no purple at all, and the deep parts like the end of the skin to mainly be made up of the color b0687c. As well as the nose, lips, and around the eyes.

(Third picture) I simply added white to the parts that I want to stand out the most. Like the nose, and cheeks.Also I colored in the eyes. Which I may show you how to color in, in another guide.

(Fourth picture) Sashas hair as wierd, since its not all the same color, but it wasn't to hard. I wanted her hair to look more simple than dynamic especially since I had a outline to go to. ( I may show you how to do cg har in another guide.) Anyhow, I started of with the base color for the yellow (ecd47e) and then toped it off with a darker yellow.(cea35e). I simply imagined how the strands would be, and I made darker lines to where i though it should. Then I smudged it so i would not look to plain. I did the same with the black strands but also following where the light will hit and where it will not. I also did the lips. I simply used darker reds on the sides, and white one where on the right and middle of the lips. Again, where it will pop out more.


(fifth picture) I made simple glassed adding some shadow and what not then I changed the later to screen. It was pretty neat.


(Sixth picture.) I needed something to fill in that spot.


(Seventh Picture) just an over all look as to what you should have in the end.

I have NOT stolen any images, the text, and images [if any] are mine, or I have recived the Orginal Artist's permission. I have Given Full credit to my sources [if any]. I understand that I may cite my sources, and provide External Links, but not blatently steal art. I understand that I will be banned if this statement is broken.


PS:: If you need more help on Cging, you can Pm me. If there is more request on making a more detailed one. Then I will make another one.

^^ Enjoy.
