I'll quote the allmighty Linda Bergkvist on how to make skin:

Try to put them down with one more saturated tone underneath, and then painting on top of it. That will help giving a certain 'glow' and transparency to the skin, giving the impression of colours showing through a thin surface. Painting just one flat colour will produce a flat result. It's so easy to trick oneself into simplifying colours on the computer for the reason that it is SO simple to produce nifty ones - but often, I find that simple layering of different colours (like a warm red underneath and a beige slowly brushed on top of it) will give an amazing effect of softly luminous skin… whereas picking the resulting colour (regular flesh-toned) and just painting it in will give a flat and lifeless look.

Furthermore, be brave. Skin is never the colour you expect it to be. I try to experiment and find new skin tones for every image. I used to be shy with skin colours and often stuck to the ones you'd think you'd find in a painting, thinking that there is such a thing as 'skin-toned' in a picture. Yes, skin does have a colour, if I look at my hand it's a particular tone - but in a painting, MY skin could be depicted in a myriad different tones, ranging from soft blue to bright orange, depending on the setting. To use an example:

The top colours are the general skintones from this painting. The bottom ones are some colours I used in Spoiled's skin. In the end, it's just a matter of practicing until you get a feel for it Good luck!

My opinion:

You'll get how to do the skin somehow or something... what I want to see is more composition stuff...

Werewulf	skin? i just wanted a shiney red surface with golden scales like on chinese dragons.

erwtenpeller	individually define and shade scales, reather then shading the surface as a whole and then making scales with a couple of lines.

erwtenpeller	i edited his post becouse it was innapropriate. I did it in a color so it would be clear that it was me who did the edit. guess it was not.

antihero	no.... it was abundantly clear There is something wrong with King Gigli's brain. As for the picture, what everyone else said, and fix the teeth

Werewulf	may i hear what hux-chu said?

erwtenpeller	it was nothing more then a burn, nothing to worry about, really.

Travinkel	It doesn't all that good, but you've got a style, which is good. The whole picture is very blurry, you should sharpen it up, unless of course, it is a wip.

Werewulf	maybe you should read more.
