i want to add a sparkle to a cheek and i'm not sure how to do that. i've tried using noise and then a glow, but it just pixilates the skin and changes the colors dramtically. the effect i want is like a light shimmer, like a glittery makeup effect.
*looks terribly embarassed* i had no idea about that DA rule....
so, do i scan a picture i've drawn or is there some way to draw the picture from scratch? and i'm a little confused with the fireflies, a gradient? how can that work?

i want to know the basics of creating a picture like this (I'm obviously new to this genre of art), and i'd really like to know the basic steps.
THANK YOU SO MUCH WHOEVER ANSWERS THIS!!
Ok, i know you use the paintbrush for recoloring, but how do you keep the texture of the picture if you recolor it? mine end up looking like i smeared paint over the picture and all the shadows and textures are gone. what can i do?
Ok, i may just be electronically chalenged but i installed a plugin and i went to retrieve it and it said that the image type was not recognized and could not open. how can i retrieve and use my plugins?
but then how can i get the pictures to overlap? it's supposed to be like a collage of pictures and i don't know if they'll get hidden by the layers. i'm not very good at layers... :oops:
Ok, something must be wrong with my computer because I have a picture I opened and I want to put other smaller photos over that picture. There seems to be no way I can paste these pictures, does anyone know how?
