All About Skin Textures - Step by Step Painting Tutorial

In this art lesson, we are talking all about techniques used to paint realistic skin textures with an airbrush. This tutorial is for advanced painters, but if you're up for a challenge give it a shot. Using a a custom airbrush shield that I made, we will discuss various ways to add micro values for skin textures (pores, wrinkles, imperfections, scars, acne, etc.) before adding in the major/macro values. There is a a lot to go over in this airbrushing tutorial, so this video will be followed up with another covering the rest of the portrait in a few weeks.
