well i got up off my ass and decided to help some people out. here's a tutorial of how to make a face using a druid of the claw. make sure you frequently test your face on the skin, becuse i just realised that this one doesnt wrap too well.

step1: cover the face with a basic skin tone, keep some lines which could help you with the placement of the features.

step2: make burn marks which set up the main features of the face

step3: continue burning, making shadows and deeper expressed features

step4: use the smudge tool to smoothen out the shading

step5: darken features and continue smudging as needed

step6: recolor the face back to it's original color to get rid of redness in shadows

step7: dodge numerous parts of face for hilights. parts that should be dodged are bottom of chin, cheekbone, nose, and eyebrow and forehead skin.
