I also know that there's no one accurate answer but it'd be good to have a point of reference to start before I buy a tablet. I get strokes that are too light so I think I should lower the opacity. Thank You in advance. Hello Daniel,

The way you get the perfect skin and texture is very impressive. I am a beginner and learning Photoshop i tried to get the skin the way you do but i am not able to get it. I have a request could you please send any of your PSD file (Low res file will do) so i can learn from it in detail. waiting for your reply. Thanks, Shiva Hi Daniel,

Thanks for D&B Tutorial. I found it easier to follow than other tutorials I have seen on the subject. Before seeing this tutorial, I had ended up doing dodge and burn my own way and I was wondering what your thoughts on this would be. I actually duplicate the original layer and use the dodge and burn tools on the duplicate painting with highlights for dodge and shadows for burn. If I make any mistakes, I clone stamp the original layer and go over the duplicate with a soft brush to restore the area I want to clean up. Is this an acceptable method? I am fairly new to retouching and hope to get a job doing it in the (hopefully) near future, so I wanted to hear from a professional like yourself. Thanks! Hi Daniel! Thanks for D&B Tutorial.
