This simple Spackled brush is perfect for this job. To enrich the 'automatic' pore effect, create another layer on top of the existing one and, with an Airbrush, randomly place some small lighter dots on top of the previous ones.Īfter marking the hair basis with an Airbrush, it's good to start adding some texture. Use it on a low opacity setting on a separate layer, so you can play with layer modes later (Soft Light usually gives the most natural effects). The small spackled brush is great to render skin pores with.
