Welcome to my first skin tutorial, it's the first part of three where I cover how I shade muscles. I find them one of the most annoying things to skin and I often avoid it as much as I can, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Hopefully this'll help you if you're ever stuck.

Enjoy.

Haha, now it's a tad too big. Oh well, deal w/ it :)

If you found this helpful, please subscribe for more, diamond and I'll love you, favourite if you don't want to lose it, and comment if you have any questions/queries.

Cheers!

Rox.

Neve- Well, later..

I've just been really lethargic when it comes to skins lately. It happens every few months, and so I've stopped uploading them etc. For now.

Perhaps I'll make one soon, who knows.

good, solid, well put together tutorial, but i'd like to add: people you don't need to do everything in a habitual way, mix it up have some fun, use your creative nature, and treat the audience to something fresh each skin you make.

Hey thanks, I yeah I did have a feeling that I was being too step by step through out it. I hope it's clear enough that this doesn't need to be followed directly, anyone following it can explore any of the techniques.

Yes! I love your shading style and this just makes me extremely happy. I've always been able to get the main concept of skins but shading always gave me trouble, hopefully this will help. Thanks Rox!
