But I'm just using photoshop CS5 and I just wanna know if ANYONE have any sugestions to how I can make shadows the most realistic on a human cyborg body or just a human period. When I look closely at what Michael O have been making in his Amalgamate series I find it dificult to do the same kind of thing to my picture

Don't know why I just find it dificult controlling the colors and so on

Search up what you want to draw or a synonym of it and add "tutorial" to the end. Deviantart search is your friend!

No problem! I'm trying to get better at digital stuff, too, and looking at dA tutorials WHILE practicing helps so much.
It's important to not just look at a tutorial and think, "Oh, cool! I'll apply this stuff later" because you'll forget all about it

Yeah I definetly get what you're saying there. :-D I actually thought that I would just paint over the shadows which is on my body, cause that seemed to be the most logical thing to do :-D (I'm making a picture of myself looking like a cyborg, so naturally I had to take a picture of my self) But then I realised that it wouldn't look right with the light I would put in the picture, so yeah, thats why I am looking for these tutorials :-D
