Coloring Skin on a Manga Scan

I got a request to break down my previous tutorial a bit. This one is for just the skin including a cute cheek idea. This method can be used for clothing as well, even hair if you like. Any questions feel free to ask i'll help where I can.

Next tut in this series should be hair :3 Maybe two on hair for different ideas, not sure yet.

Made with Photoshop CS3

Rate, comment, opinions? :3

which photoshop did you use?

[Gerbil12690]

@thecrazymonkey0001 For this one I believe I used CS3 But you should be able to do with with any version even elements from my understanding.

Did you know you spelled Opacity wrong?

[Gerbil12690]

@WeAreLowBrass I hadn't noticed though i'm sure it's not my only spelling/grammar mistake.

try this:

change color mode to lab color

use color changer thingy

use gladient if needed

thats what i do to edit manga o-o

This would have so much easier to understand if you had slowed down the parts where your actually doing it, I'm beyond lost x_____x

:3 Hope this way works out for you! If you want you can add more shadows and highlights like many professional artists do, this is more of a starting point :3
