Basic Blonde Hair Tutorial

Step 1.
Chose a light brown color and make a 256X256 canvas and fill it with that color

Step 2.
Chose two lighter colors and make random squiggle marks all over

Step 3.
Add noise, how much noise you want is entirely up to you I used about 45

Step 4.
Motion blur it make sure your angle is set to 90 degrees and make it to about 800-900

Step 5.
Dodge it! make it look blonde by using the dodge tool I suggest setting your dodge tool to highlight and have the exposure rate about 40

Step 6.
Add two white lines like below make sure the hardness is set to 0

Step 7.
Lower the opacity (how much is up to you)

Step 8.
Guasiense Blur the main blonde layer set it to no more then 3 otherwise your texture will be to blurry just make it a little play with this option until you have what you desire

Adding Color Tips To Your Hair

Step 1.
Start with a basic hair texture already made

Step 2.
use the magnetic lasso and make jagged edges going up and down like seen below

Step 3.
Use motion blur on the jagged layer but not to much just enough so it looks faded into the main texture

Step 4.
This is optional you can repeat the above with a darker color to make it stand out a bit more

And there you have it
my result

PVC Tutorial
(I am not that good at PVC so I am sorry for the suckish tut) x_x

Step 1.
PLEASE know where to place PVC on your clothes I will not show that >_> everyone should be able to figure that out on there own I am preventing theft by just showing it on a black canvas make white around the area you want to have the PVC effect

Step 2.
Smudge the edges and also the inside it does not really matter how bad it looks we will fix that soon

Step 3.
Make a new layer and smudge that one to but make sure to leave some white there so it don't look all smudges and messy

Step 4.
Merge your two white layers and re size it so it is smaller (this is optional but I recommend it to fix it to the place you want it.

Step 5.
Duplicate the layer and hide that layer then use the smudge tool at about 10 px or lower and make zig zag smudge marks then guasiense blur that so it looks like it has a white shadow

Step 6.
un hide the layer you hid smudge it a bit to fix it up and this is the result of mine

Results will vary!
and hopefully yours will come out better looking then mine :3

Basic Corset Tutorial

1. Take the eliptical marquee tool and hold down control alt and shift you will now have a perfect circle shape, make a small circle (size is your choice) now make a new layer go to edit>stroke>(Size is up to you but I chose 1) color is also up to you but I chose black
I suggest you make smaller circles I made them bigger to show them better in this tutorial.

2. Step 2 just use the rectangle tool and make a block of black then you should free transform it to look as shown below.. continue to do this for all the circles until you have something like this.

3. I have now resized it to be smaller to show what it could look like, I added a bow at the bottom but you can do what you like to it. This tutorial was very basic can be used for skin clothing etc... enjoy

Adding detail to a plain texture

1. Get your plain texture all set up this is mine just a basic stripe texture

2. Now select your burn tool make sure it's set to midtones and about 45-50% for exposure hardness set to 0 and size about 12 or so.. burn just the edges of the stripes or texture you are using.

3. Dodge you have to be a little more careful with set your setting to higlights and make the size about 16 or so.. exposure is up to you, now dodge just the middle of the texture and it should look something like this

hope it helps ^^

Cleavage Tutorial
I had to remove the parts cause it wouldn't be GA if I didn't : O so like yea deal with it >_>

Step 1.
Use your eleptical tool and hold down alt and shift to make a perfect circle now make a new layer and stroke it 2 px the darker color of the skin you should now get something like this

step 2.
You can do this step differently if you chose but I chose to do both sides at the same time so if your doing the tut like me then duplicate your first layer where you used stroke and then flip it horizontal and line it up to the other side of the b.oob you should get this

Step 3.
Guasiense blur the layer about to 0.9 you can change it to what you want but I chose this setting

Step 4.
This step is pretty easy.. just duplicate your current layer extend both sides until it looks like a darker outline of your previous now blur that layer to give it a shadowed effect should come out something like this

Step 5.
This step it to just add shine make two white marks hardness set to 0 and blur them to your liking smudge a bit and you should have something like this

My final result will differ from yours I cleaned up the inside fixed my edges so they looked better and made mine different so theft is impossible. The tut b.oobs I don't care if they get stolen as much because this is a very basic concept of making cleavage. I hope this has helped you and if you follow omst of my tutotorial and clean it up at the end you could get a result like this or better play with opacity at the end it helps in making it blend more.

Hope it helps everyone!
