Hey, Can anyone give me a clue of how I can paint white skin black. Just like this picture: ![](http://www.ananova.com/images/news/tekestekahsayBIG410x344.jpg) Well, I’m not sure if this is the famous Michael Jackson disease, but I would really like to make an effect like this. I use Photoshop CS3 Extended, and I’ve tried to paint brown colors on the skin, using the layer effects such as “Hard Light” - but I got no good match. So if anyone could guide me it would be just awesome! :hugegrin: ---
