Introduction

I spent a lot of hours collecting good references on the net. Of course Google helped me a lot. Finally, I found a good image from flicker. I chose the image because of the mood and lighting information is very high. So I would like to discuss the steps I followed for "Making of Lust" took lot of effort and patience in drawing, using the optical mouse.

Coloring and Shading

I put very basic colors with shadows and light information’s

Tools

I used adobe Photoshop CS2 and Optical mouse.
AMD Athlon(tm) 64x2 dual
Core Processor 3800+
2.01 GHz, 2 GB RAM

Preparation

I decided to go with this small resolution 541x 747 because it was comfortable with the screen size i had.

Paint very basic shadows and lighting information for entire image. So we can understand the light variations and Shadow depth. I used simple steps to paint the image. I like to reveal the steps at this point of the painting.

I added some more detailing on face and trying to shape the image.

I used the Smooth brush for painting the body and the cloth folding and also play with the opacity and the brush presets.

At this point I added more details in the hair and Cloth area.

Now am going to discuss the core part of my painting, the opacity and jitter value of the brushes, I spent a lot of time to get the nice result. So lets look at the steps of the process here.

I used both hard and soft brush set for painting and also adjust the flow of the paint by using the opacity jitter and flow jitter.

I used the duel brush in brush preset for the skin painting and also switch on the “Noise Presets”

Brush Set Up

This brush set I used for adding very small nice in skin and hair sets
