[left]Someone linked this video and wondered about the layering involved in a PSD such as was demonstrated in the video. Here’s my stab at a simple breakdown of what the process might be. Hope this is useful to some beginners!
Please bear in mind that I don’t use this many layers for the tone - they’re just shown as separate layers in order to show the steps. While I may use more than one tone layer (it just depends on the complexity of the painting) usually it’s a good idea at some point to flatten the tone layers to reduce your file size and to keep things tidy.
Just did this quick Tutorial for beginners interested in digital painting with PS - really just to update the old skull painting tutorial, which may be more useful, but here it is anyway:
