The Fastest Way to Remove Shiny Skin in Photoshop

In this Photoshop tutorial, I demonstrate a fast, efficient, and fully non-destructive method for removing shiny skin from portraits.

Using Selective Color adjustments and controlled masking, we isolate the brightest tonal areas (where shine typically appears) and subtly rebalance them — without flattening skin texture.

Key concepts covered:
• Targeting tonal whites
• Absolute vs Relative adjustments
• Precision masking
• Controlled brush workflow

Clean, natural, professional results — in just minutes.

How to draw (according to me)

She looks so happy….

She has no idea what Alastor will do to her.

Or better yet what I will do to her :)

Anyways

How I Draw Char Digitally (Full Process)

I’ve had a few people ask how I draw digitally, so I broke down my entire process using Char as the example.

Let me know if you like this post and want me to do more like this 🖤if this post does well I’ll post stuff like:

-how I organize layers
-how I crop for better composition
-what I adjust at the end

-and any questions y'all might have I’d be happy to answer

I’m still learning too, but if this helps even one person start drawing, it’s worth it ✨

Step 1:

I usually sketch out either my characters or the the scene (or draw backgrounds separately so I can just directly import characters- makes it easier)

Fun fact this was the original Char character design I drew on paper

Step 2:

Once you have a rough idea obviously you start sketching it out. If you have a board tablet I recommend taping a piece of paper on the tablet to prevent the pen from slipping and you can create the sense of drawing on paper

In clip studio paint you can change the color of the lines using “layer color”

Step 3:

Go over it in black…

And once you’ve done that and erased all the blue lines you should get something like….

THIS

Step 4:

Finish coloring it in in black….. Refine all the lines

Another helpful tip that I didn’t do for this drawing specifically is to do outlines (for thick eyeliner for instance) to make sure your art lines look “clean cut.” Vary the thickness of the line for a dynamic and dramatic look 👀

Just fill it in for easy crisp lines >:3 This is especially helpful for thick lines that are difficult to draw.

Step 5: Color matching

I absolutely love color matching, sometimes it’s very annoying because I look at a previous Char post and think, “wait… Was her skin that yellow before?”
Oops.

I have to go back and fill it in again.

Color matching is by all means not necessary but helpful either way for digital drawing to always have a pallet nearby (especially when mimicking a specific shows color pallet—things can get very weird very quickly)

Step 6: Coloring in!

You can apply color more efficiently by using a clipping on the undercoat. I recommend color blocking since you’ve worked devastatingly hard to get those perfect lines, this will result in a “cartoon flat” look which brings me to my next step…

Step 7: Shading

You can deepen the shadow by adding another shadow in a light color to the basic shadow.

In anime coloring gradation really brings out dimension. Use cooler tones to prevent colors from becoming dull.

In a digital drawing like Char where too many shadows will ruin the “cartoony” look cast shadows are important (cast shadows are where light falls on the figures)

Warm colors on the other hand can be used to make reflective colors have a vibrant look. If you highlight with a little blur it really brings out shine! Once I’m done this my finished product looks something like this:

Messy sketch first. Confidence later.
That’s the rule.

Don’t wait until you’re “good enough.” Draw anyway.

If you try this method, tag me. I’d love to see it :)

And the Transgender Rhino Beetle wraps up my pride bug series for right now! It was really fun working on all of these. It was interesting figuring out how to simplify the designs of the bug wings down, and how to render their faces less scary for those who have a fear of insects.

Nonbinary moth! This one is special to me. People really should give more love to moths. Many of them are very fluffy, and very beautiful. Also, they don’t eat your clothes. Their caterpillars do that. Do with that information what you will.

Tutorial sheet walking you through the steps to take to paint something semi-realistically using the layer modes in Photoshop and your base colors or black and white bases, because I spent years studying them and jump around these 3 methods myself depending on what look I’m going for. So here’s this for myself and others. There a few typos in this. I really don’t care.

Hello guys! I share with you just a little tip that I use to speed up the colouring process. I use the lazo tool and then I click on “add” to select multiple parts of the drawing at the same time. Do you use this tool?

I had found an easy way to shade so I thought I’d make a tutorial on it!

hope it will be useful for you all~

Clipping Mask explained! Use a clipping mask if you have created a shape and you want to paint on it without going outside of the shape. The bottom layer needs to be your shape (make sure it’s not merged with a background color!), make a layer on top and set it to clipping mask to paint on the shape. You can make multiple layers on top and set them to clipping mask. Whatever you paint on them will only show up on your shape. Super handy! 😃
