btw it was done with a mouse, and the only tools i've used are dodge and burn...i only started using photoshop 2 weeks ago, but i've heard about the airbrush tool and its amazing versatility when doing this kind of stuff...could someone please tell me how to use it real quick?...
btw i know there's no background...
suggestions for a background AND/OR someone putting one on for me would be appreciated...
and i don't know how light works...please advise...

hey, umm..im no professional or anythin...and my anatomy studies are pretty poor and all that bad stuff...but, i just sliced bits and pieces here and there on your pic and kept most of the original, just to help you along, hope you dont mind..and as for the airbrush...ummmm..pick a colour, pick a brush size and set your opacity to around 30% or so then click away. Something like that anyway, i think somebody will give you a better description on how to use it...im just gettin lazy with my typing..hehe

cheers
