Hello:

I need to change the painted on eyebrow color of a V4 texture from brown to green. Is there any easier way of doing this than painting over the brown in Photoshop?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you! That technique should enable me to make a mask so that I can color the eyebrows as I want.

ps. Great sale.

Aye, it should work. Just be sure to eliminate all of the, as they call it, "gunk" as much as possible. Thank you for the compliments on the sale, we appreciated that so many took part in it. Still have to change out the banners but still running from holidays :P

What's actually a lot of fun is breaking out your tablet and drawing your own masks to use in the above technique. Sky's the limit... you can make those eyebrows *eXACtly what they are supposed to look like.

I would love to do that, but I'm not that good at drawing on my Wacom yet, at least for small details like this. I know I have to figure it out eventually, but this is just a character study for a web-comic I'm writing which will be processed into an illustration form rather than fully realistic. I figure any small details I mess up in the eyebrows will be lost in the translation. Or at least I hope so. :)

And I'm just using green to make her stand out more because she's one of the major characters.

Thanks for the responses.

I used photoshop much like the tutorial suggested, then isolated black eyebrows. I changed these to green, and merged them back to the original texture (renamed of course).

And the result is above.
