I greatly admire your remarkable work, and am trying to do a scene in my comic which requires wet clothes and skin and also hair. I've tried transparencies and whatnot, but cannot get it looking god at all, so I am wondering if you might post a brief tutorial of some sort, or atleast some pointers. Thanks alot, -BD

Hi... Sorry for the late reply...I don't hang around in the forums much anymore..hehe :) I'll try to help. - For the clothes I usually make them transparent a little. If there's to much transparency...it ruins the effect most of the time. I also make the clothes darker than usual. The same cloth will be much darker when wet. (I usually created different layers for just the clothing in Photoshop so I can control everything independently). I also add shadows with the burn tool and paint brush in photoshop. - For the skin you can make the skin a bit shiny. If you want to get a kind of "water beed" effect...I have a small tutorial on my Website explaining how I do it sometimes. - For the hair its mostly all painted in from Photoshop. for my latest image it was mostly created by painting in basic black strans with a paint brush...then pulling them outwards to a point with the smudge tool to create the hair strands. Thats a quick overview of how I got it...If you have any other questions feel free to Email me. Solo22 solo22@citenet.net
