I think ive spent a total of 2 hours studing your skins and tring to see what you do, but they never come out the same. I have a few questions for you though:
1. Do you use the Render Clouds effect?
2. Do you use a "Shadow" layer of black and outline some of the rudder and Blur it so it looks darker?
3. I think the biggest question of all is: How do you get your rivits and panal lines to look so 3D and they just seem to flow?

-Just another astonished skinner asking for tips!

1. no

2. sometimes

3. make one layer of black rivets and make the layer transparent and maybe blure it a small bit and also make one layer of white rivets tranparent and dont blur it usually. put the dark rivets above or below the white rivets and off one pixel to one side or the other.

might buy the book on avg colors and markings though to get more informatino. it is supposed to be very in depth.
