Erm, is there a section for tutorials on DA? I don't seem to find it. Perhaps I am dumb.
As I submitted this little painting azurelle.deviantart.com/art/Av… a lot of you asked for a close up and a working overview.

I am lucky that I safed some steps! You can hit download when you want it all in bigger size.
I basically used just 2 custom brushes to make this painting in Photoshop. They fall under the category speckled brushes and can easily be downloaded from DeviantART's custom brushes category.

Since this painting is pretty simple I basically did not much more than blocking some basic colors, douplicating the basic layer to make the colours more intense, and then work my way through details.

When you are curious how painting a face like that works in detail please take a look at this tutorial: azurelle.deviantart.com/art/Ea… It is an easy technique that helped my students a lot of times to get to good results, too!
