Can anybody point me to tutorials on painting beads of sweat.. I followed one it really wasn't very clear or detailed

I could help ya out a bit. U will need a photoshop plugin called eye candy though. Or if u want I can tell you how to do it in photoshop alone. Do you have thoughs? Email me if ya want. This is a pic I did of blood.

i have both and thanks

ok, just email me. That way I can take my time and not look stupid on here in front of all these other ppl lol. You got aim? If so I am on right now. looksgood36575 is my aim

thanks just sent you a mail

Could you possibly risk looking stupid, and share your findings with the rest of us ?

meh I will put what I emailed u in here anyway lol. No problem. This is actualy an easy thing to do. I spent months going through tutorials and got no where. Finaly I just tried some stuff on my own. Here is what ya do. Take your pic and duplicate it onto another image (this is a safe gaurd against editing the original. Now use the eliptical markey (I cant spell well). Where u want the sweat beed to be you should make an ovel selection. Then copy that selection onto another layer. Now in the new layer open eye candy and water drop. Play around with the opasity and size and stuff. This is where you do whatever you want. Just make it look like it is a water buble. Once u do that click ok. Now go to your first layer with the pic. This will be the stream. Use the lasso tool and select the area the stream will go down. Make it shaped right for the curves of the pic and be sure to have it conect to the beed of water. Now copy that to a new layer and put it under the water bubble layer. Ok now go into eye candy again. this time use the glass filter. u can play around here too. When this is done u will make the image look like sweat.

It has always been hard for me to TELL someone how to do it. I cant describe things well. But yeah a water beed (assuming u understand how to make one in eye candy) combined with a selection for the stream is what I used for that pic. Play around with the setings to get it just right for you. Could ya let me see it when u are done? I am curious as to how your pic will look.

LOL, maybe I should make a tutorial and lay it out more clear?

Yes! Please make it a tutorial. Lots of us would enjoy seeing how it's done, I'm sure. :)

hmmm ok, I think I will. I think I will have it layed out by tomarow. If I dont get too busy.

yea i'm lost

LOL, well I will make a tutorial. It will be pretty much layed out as simple as can be. I will even use screen shots to show you what I am talking bout.

ok thanks so much

how's this look?

OMG .... that is so freaky, very realistic .... wasn't there an evil dentist or something in a movie some time ago ? .... this looks a bit like him but transferred to the future ! :)

Ah looks like ya got some sweat on there now. Well I uploaded a tutorial. I layed it out in VERY simple steps with illustrations. I am just gona have to wait for them to approve it.

Wasn't the evil dentist in Marathon Man with Dustin Hoffman? Going by memory so could be entirely wrong. Am looking forward to the Tutorial Looksgood.

thanks a lot for taking the time to do that

The tutorial is up now. Thanks for posting it!

And thank you for approving it lol.

Thanks, looksgood !! ....
