Thanks, must try that. Skin lines & blemishes I can probably do; it's the facial hair that freaks me. No matter what brush set i use (and i've got plenty) I just can't get it to look anything less than ugly smudges. Which would be just dandy if I wanted ugly smudges -- but with my luck then I'd probably get a good-looking dwarf or wizard instead. ::sigh:: Somedays you just can't win ...
