Step 3 - Just Add Water

Now we are ready to add to start smoothing out those skin tones.

The tool I used for this is "Blender - Just Add Water". The size brush varies depending on how large your image is. The opacity setting I used through most of this skin smoothing was 23%. The larger your opacity setting the more water it will add. Be careful because if your setting is to high it will cause the paint to thin too much. With the "Just Add Water" start blending all the color together till the desired result is aquired. I have a tendency to want a cross between a painted look to more of a realistic one. Again this will vary depending on your taste. Just have fun!!

	by Vampi on Aug 19, 2003 4:02:35 am [homepage] This tutorial is bloody fantastic...it's inspired me to get back to working with 'paints' on the computer and work harder for the detail I seemed to miss before...thank you so much!

	by DrmzRmyne on Aug 19, 2003 8:03:00 am [homepage] Awww, thanks! That's the biggest reward...knowing that I've inspired someone and that this tutorial has helped in some way! Thank you Vampi for your wonderful words! ~Mel

	by Rogmog on Sep 3, 2003 4:03:45 pm [homepage] wow that is so well done! I'm also inspired to try your method of shading...it seems to be the added detail I've been looking for! Is it possible to get similar results using just photoshop?

	by DrmzRmyne on Sep 3, 2003 4:46:40 pm [homepage] Hi Rogmog! Thanks for the comment! As for getting the same type results in Photoshop, yes it is possible, the tools are different, but technique I'm sure the same. I'm an avid photoshoper, however painter seems to work much better for me when painting. Thanks again and any further questions, please feel free to e-mail me. :)

	by digiladee on Sep 17, 2003 6:28:13 am [homepage] This tutorial for painter is one of the best I have found... there aren't many out there. Maybe if I beg you would do one for tracing images properly. I would love to know you tecnik!

	by royc8 on Sep 17, 2003 1:15:15 pm [homepage] Thanks,excellent tutorial Mel, you make it look so easy ; )

	by madame on Sep 22, 2003 10:05:57 am [homepage] Thank you so much for this tutorial, it inspired me to try harder to draw with Painter. I'm not as talented as you but I love to paint with the computer :)

	by demondude on Sep 23, 2003 7:43:59 am [homepage] I'm just starting out with Painter, and your tutorial is the most helpful one I've found anywhere so far! Can't wait till the full tutorial is available in Marketplace! One question I don't see addressed anywhere: are you zooming in a lot to paint the details? How do you deal with such a small "canvas" (the computer screen)? Traditional media artists want to know! Thank you!!

	by gallimel on Sep 25, 2003 12:32:40 am [homepage] I have to thank you with all my forces. Now I will have more go at Painter that I so far underused due to my unability with it. Thank you. This tutorial is awesome.

	by JoeMK on Sep 25, 2003 9:10:00 am [homepage] Best Painter tutorial out there! Great Work, big help thanks

	by JFT2002 on Oct 23, 2003 11:00:35 pm [homepage] Congratulations! This tutorial is very interesting. If you compare with traditional paint like oil paint, It�s a different way to paint. Excellent job. Do you use a Wacom Or Mouse for details? I will wait your next work.

	by Gary15 on Oct 30, 2003 10:50:06 pm [homepage] I just found this site and have been working with Painter since version 4. I upgraded to Painter 8 recently from 6.1 and am so happy the interface is much more like Photoshop. Using the right tools in painter is half the battle and I'm glad you mentioned you use the pen and just water for blending! A wonderful tutorial. :-))

	by drkmo on Dec 11, 2003 12:38:40 am [homepage] Thanks DrmzRmyne for this excellent tutorial, I'm experimenting with painter8 following your tips, and guess what: it works! THANKS!!

	by Bonzodog on Jan 7, 2004 4:15:27 pm [homepage] Absolutely knocked out. I'm totally inexperienced in computer graphics and still trying to find a way in, so your tutorial has been an great opener. The staring eyes bug me a little; could you have watered the down a trifle, or did you want them that way?

	by julieZavala on Feb 11, 2004 10:06:32 am [homepage] Thanks for the tutorial! I haven't been using the layers to their best advantage but after seeing your work I will certainly use them more! :O)

	by Theta on Nov 20, 2004 2:36:48 pm [homepage] Great tutorial! The cloth looks so incredibly great that would not have thought this could have been turned out with Painter ... you really showed in a very impressive way the true potential of the programme, and yout tutorial is easy to read and also easy to understand. Very good!

	by wdiniz on Dec 16, 2004 7:14:21 am [homepage] Thanks for sharing your technique and experience with us. Your tut is very well written and easy to follow.

	by Kasnar2020 on Sep 15, 2005 4:06:29 am [homepage] Nice tutorial. A different style of approach in coloring =P , keep up the good work!!
