It's not easy. Essential materials include: A good seam guide. SnowSultan is the Guru of seam guides. Search Freestuff and DAZ for them. High quality high res photos. You can either buy a good digital camera (most point & shoot models aren't much use) or buy photosets of skin. www.3d.sk is a fantastic resource for skin textures. A good graphics package such as Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. I prefer Photoshop but either will do. There are several other good ones out there. Patience, skill and time. All the tools in the world won't help unless you're prepared to put the hours in and work hard. There are several tutorials around, some for free and some in the Marketplace. I bought btsculptor's tutorials when I was starting out. They relate to Victoria 1 & 2 but the techniques involved are the same for any model.
