Workshop - skin

[Elfdaughter]

OK, for this workshop, we're going to be looking at doing skin in a realistic manner. We all know what skin looks like. We see it every day. But do we we really SEE it? We'll look at doing anatomical studies here - a finger, a hand, a nose, that sort of thing. I suggest looking at high quality pics, looking at how colours bounce off skin, the translucence of skin...

Here are some good reference pics to get you started.

I think I might be looking at feet - something I've not actually tried yet.
