This One's For Mr. Timbo

I've been using the tonal colouring technique lately - here's a quick guide.



Black & white to start...




A 'colour' layer to bring the shades closer to skin tones.



'Multiply' and 'colour' layers to block in skin tones.



A 'normal' layer to add more detail plus 'overlay' and 'colour' layers for mottling and hilights.




More 'normal' and 'overlay' layers to add hilights and details.
