We should get together some time this summer and you can teach me how to use photoshop the way that you do. I can't begin to use brushes this way!

I'm not sure I'm the best teacher for this... Especially because it involves working at a much larger size and it's difficult for me to manage that in photoshop. I try working zoomed out to get proportions right but it never seems to work out quite right.

In any case, regarding the brushes, I began with a rough sketch (either on white and set to multiply or with no background). Underneath that layer, I used a large, hard round brush with opacity set to pen pressure. I went through and laid down various base colors underneath the sketch (primarily oranges and blues, with a little bit of green). Then on a layer above the sketch I used a hard round brush with opacity and size set to pen pressure and I worked from big to small.
Afterward, I had some layers on top using...dry media brushes (I think) to spread some generic skin tone color (to even it out some) and some red and some freckly type things.

I do agree that we need some sort of art-related meeting.

Perhaps it could involve a stripper hired as a nude model?
No, no, you're right, that's too expensive.

Thanks for the technique advice! I tried out the multiply mode, and it's really helpful to me.
Umm. I don't think strippers are even allowed to work as nude models. It's probably in their contract somewhere that all the work they do has to be strictly skanky, not artistic.
Anyway, why would I need a nude model when I have you?

Good point. If you're extra nice, I might even show you a bit more than my ankle...My calf! Ohoho, try to resist me now.
