@02:03Now that the basic tones are pretty much in place, I start using the skin texture brushes to blend them together and get a more 'real' look happening.

@01:57Rather than painting over the lines, I like to paint underneath them and erase them as I go and refine that area.

@00:44I always paint the face on one single layer underneath the lineart- but I'm doing the hand on a separate layer. It just makes it easier to work around. (Plus I hate painting hands, so if I stuff it up, I won't have to worry about it affecting the rest of the face!)

@00:15Then work in the tones as I go- still using the round airbrush- but no more than 50% opacity!

@00:03I start by adding the flat colors with the flat round airbrush.

@02:42I'm just adding big blobs of color in the background, then going Filter > Blur > Gausian Blur which gives it that major out-of-focus look!

Digital Painting process
Photoshop CS3
About 2-3 hours

I had a cold while I was painting this, so every so often I would have a coughing fit and forget where I was, so i'll jump to a different part :XD:

Feel free to download for a better quality look!

one question, how do you decide what your base color for skin, hair etc should be??

Basically I pick the middle tone of the reference pic for the base color. Then add darker tones, etc.
