I paint with PhotoShop. I've never used the Gimp before so I don't know if the same options are available - sorry.

I use Gimp all the time. I've found its tools to be almost identical to PhotoShop for the most part, so I don't see why this technique wouldn't work. The only problem is Gimp does not have any brushes like the ones in this tutorial. So you would have to work around that.

i would really like to try the multiple window tip but I can't find the option under my "window" tab....I think it's cause I have Photoshop 7.
So, do you know another way of getting same result?

I use CS2 and don't have a copy of PS7 to hand I'm afraid so not sure if there's another way of producing the same effect. Sorry.

I use an Intuos3 but to be honest the techniques in this tutorial should work even on the most basic model tablet. It sounds as though you're referring to resolution. I generally always work on an 8" x 10" canvas at 300dpi - you can input these values when you start a new document in Photoshop. This should be more than enough to squeeze in all those awesome details.
Having said that, I got lazy on the Clint Eastwood piece and only worked at 150dpi but the detail still comes through.

The resolution does play a big part (I always use 300dpi), but I know that tablets also affect the quality of the piece, even only slightly. With my old graphire 3, I had to use a canvas of about 3000 pixels to create something of the same detail as a 1500 pixel piece with my bamboo fun. It was just the sensitivity I think, and the sharpness of the brush strokes. Sorry I'm not making much sense
Your tutorial has completely changed the way I do my art, seriously. I never thought of splitting up the screens (let's just say it's the most helpful thing ever lol). And I always had the problem of my people coming out too smooth, so now I paint with the spatter brushes and it makes all the difference

how cn i produce a texture in the face??wat effect,brushes should i use...???
π: 0 β©: 1
There are screenshots in the tutorial that show you which brush I use but you can use even the most basic round brush and with some adjustment to spacing & scatter produce similar effects.

Thank you. Spatter is the key.
I don't want to download textures because then the painting is not completely mine i want to make my own.
This is fine for skin I'm currently looking for some tutorial on doing metal textures and grass.

Dude thats awesome!! I dont know what impressed me more: The actualy idea of adding slight skin imperfections or; The Window > Arrange > New Window for "unknown" and the number pad shortcuts for the opacity!!
And I thought I knew all the key board shortcuts!!??!! Damn

Great tutorial! You hae definately taught me some thing new as far as the windows in Photoshop goes. That is pretty cool! I just tried it, and I am pretty happy with it.. LOL I think I'll be working this way from now on if I can just remember how to set it up each time I want to work with a reference photo.
Again thanks!

This wasn't the type of tutorial I was looking for, but it was a pleasant surprise to find. I may try this out once I learn how to paint skin (hence my looking) Lol
Goodday.
