Photoshop :: Making Hair And Skin?
Mar 4, 2009
I really want to get into making artwork similar to the picture here images.elfwood.com/art/k/o/kozienko/dwarf_axeman.jpg (with the www in front)
So i started with some rough ideas, shapes and color and started messing around with some of the tools. I'm not that great of an artist and couldn't figure out an easier method of making the textures, I'm new to Photoshop.
Does anyone know some good tutorials and how to make pictures like this? I've looked very hard and seen a ton of stuff, but people are usually terrible about explaining how they're doing something or what tools they're using, plus, this picture is a lot cooler then any other I've seen.
Or can someone atleast link something on making realistic (or actually somewhat overly dramatic) skin and/or hair...
Or even better! If any of you talented people out there can MAKE a tutorial, that would be great!
Thanks for taking the time to read my post, I hope someone can help me out.

I'm working on a necrotic zombie-like picture of myself and was trying to wrap skin around my mouth, but it looks fake. Can anyone give me a tip on how to make this look real?
I also noticed my right eye is much darker do to the lighting of the original picture, and I can't seem to get that lightened to match the left one.

I know it´s possible to create new characters for realistic games, Mangás and even presentation, simulating pure skin, as in people using trunks. They can preserve the face, feet, hands and even chest, however they do limbs entirelly from scratch. I know they use the ´copy area´ button, but some skin can be made from the beginning, by means of noise, patterns and gradient. I would like to know some of these techniques
I´m almost expert using ´copy area´ effects until now, but I do know it´s insufficient for a good artwork. Some limb areas still looks ´repeated´ and ´painted-like´.

I am a game coder/artist using 3ds Max. To date, I have used very simplistic methods of making character skins. I need to step it up a notch and start making more realistic (human) skin textures for humans models in this game I'm working on.
I have been searching the web for several days on this topic and finding little luck. Here are the problems I am encountering:
1. Most skin tutorials for cgi I've found are for high-res, pre-rendered images in Max or Maya ,and not for games. They use several shaders and bump maps and complex multi-texturing that I cannot use in a game.
2. I found one fairly decent skin making tutorial but it used a clouds effect that really only works for light-skinned characters. I tried to modify for darker skin characters and it looks really bad.
3. In general, I have not found much for this at all on the web.

trying every layer mask combo I could think of to create a realistic shade of white hair that doesn't look like I just used the brush tool to make it.
I've tried lighting up the shadows with the curves option then using the selective color option. But all that does is make a very fake looking film to put over the eyebrows (ya it's eyebrows I'm working on, I'm trying to get them to match a white wig the subject is wearing.)
I've also tried using the solid color option, and a color overlay and that just came out weird.
Has anyone ever turned pitch black hair to white and had it still look like hair?

I occasionally use GIMP to burn-down parts of portraits that compete with the face. For example, bare shoulder, midriff over-light, hands over-lit.
The skin ends up looking greyish, not like less-lit skin. It works not too badly visually, as the emphasis is on the face, but fails on inspection.
I have tried the burn tool and just plain old Brightness, both on a selected area.

I'm working on a project of an elf girl and she has thin straight black hair, but I'm really not sure how to get that to work... I'm sure I could go one strand at a time, but I did that last time and I really don't have that kind of patience to do it again... Is there any kind of shortcut effect?

You know those glossy ads that appear in magazines for hair products that show a beautiful woman with long shiny hair? I don't believe it's the product or that her hair is that perfect, no split ends etc. How can the smoothest hair be acheived using Photoshop?

I got a picture of a lady, however, because of the lighting and the fact that it's b/w some parts of the hair are so dark that you can't see the hair at all.
Is there any techniques I can use so that I can make it look like the hair is slightly visible (even though that area is currently a solid black).

I have this picture, of course a jpeg, so the quality sucks, and i'm having problems selecting the two girls' hair. It blends into the background to where i almost have an impossible time seeing it at all but if i just cut it out it doesn't look natural anymore.

I am having trouble with my cross hair not showing the size of my brushes or clones (where it shows a circle around the cross hair to know what size the brushes are) - this has happened before and someone told me to shut it down, and re-open photoshop, but it is not working!
I just made a logo brush, and can't see the brush until I actually stamp it on my picture. I've looked around trying to see if there is a "box not checked" somewhere that would allow me to see the brush size before I start using it, no luck.

In the attached file Lady.psd she gets more / less hair depending on how many layersare on / off. Why is it so? The layers are copies of each other and the original file is fromthe book Creative Photoshop, chapter 14 by Derek Lea.

ive been trying to select just the dog from this image for a while now. i played with the channel mixer and found that at high contrast the red channel allowed me to select the dog best, but i still am having great difficulty with the dogs hair out around her legs and head. how would you go about it? it might not be the best image for this as the chair is brown and also the dog is brown.

Changing hair color ou adding highlight is pretty easy if the hair is very light color (ex: blonde) but with dark hair it gets alot trickier and i am never happy with the final results...
What kind of techniques do you guys use to do this? best thing I can can up with is using color replacement tool... but the highlights and so ... its just not a vivid convencing look.

trying to use channels to make certain extractions.
I've attached a before and after. What I would like to see is somebody elses extraction of the same image to see how it should be or can be done. I put it on a black background to catch the errors.
I duplicated the blue channel, applied a level to darken the dark areas then burned the midtones...and painted with black. copied into the quickmask.
I've read a zillion tutorials on the channel extract, channels an I have never seen eye to eye.
(white background is the original)

trying to finish this image up for a few hours now and can't find a suitable way to get rid of the background behind the hair and within the net meshing. I know you people are way smarter than me and have done even harder ones than this. I just need apoint in the right direction, not looking for step by step or for someone to do it for me (I gotta learn too) - just need a bit of guidance.
