| it seems that every time i try to color in a sketch i can never seem the colors looking right in the face.. when i use Multiply it makes the face dull and if i use burn it turns it an ugly orange color. i was wondering if any of u can tell me or show me how to paint the face and show the defferent steps used |

Hmmm, well I had the same trouble with my pictures coming out an orange color when I was first starting out....When using the burn tool, set the opacity down some, possibly around 30/50%..see what that does for ya.

i dunno how people use dodge at all! it always changes my color to say.. some w33rd burned color ;o for shading i use Darken or Overlay.. to highlight i even sometimes use Screen (thats more for glow though) like lamps glow

WARiii,
try painting first without immediately resorting to all sorts of additional settings. With that I mean set your brush to normal mode and just paint. Lay off the multiply stuff and the burn/dodgy features untill you are more comfortable with the tools and the colours they produce.

| thanks for the help, but i was more curious on how to paint it, none of the tutorials i have seen never really went in to detail on the processes step by step, what i would like to know is what tool would be the best, what color to use (same on or a darker tone), thanks again |

why dont you try using airbrush (what else tool did you think?!) Overlay with some darker tones.. or lighter LOL try with anything and use what best comes out of it, i noticed whatever i read in tutorials i dont really use, but when i discover something myself it stays in my pics FOREVA!!

aye... burn/dodge be a fine tool.. don't go bashing it.
soon you all will see... sooon... muhaahhwhahhaa! erm.
the way i prefer to work is to draw in greyscale with burn/dodge, then colorize on a new layer on top of it all. makes more sense to me myself.
being grey scale to begin with, there won't be nasty tone changes.
