Hi there, 
So I've got a problem with this little sweet girl. I can't make a really smooth skin on her. The colours aren't connect the other one. Can anyone help me or give me a link to a good tutorial or something like that? It would relly help me.....

| it took me forever to figure it out....but basically, keep your finger propped on the 'Alt' key so you can select colors. turn down your brush opacity to maybe 30 or so, then select the lighter color and slowly work your way into the darker color. keep selecting colors you are making in transition.... i hope that was clear...if not, let me know |

| normally I use "just add water" in painter - after having done the shadows and highlights. I don't know if you could use the photoshop smudge tool and get the same effect. |

When it comes to skin I always use the airbrush. ~10-20 opacity. I start with the Mid tones then paint the darks then the lights. Some say start with dark then to lights but that dosen't work for me.
I do every thing else with both the hard edged paintbrush and soft airbrush...
EDIT: Actually, I mask of ...say the face then Fill in the area with the paint bucket THEN paint over that with the darks and lights.
