I don't think there can be a tutorial for this. All you need is a keen eye to match up facial features and knowledge of adjusting/matching colors, as well as being handy with the smudge tool (at least for me). Otherwise, requests go in the Request Thread.

If you use GIMP, here are a few hints that help me to get something a little more believable:

Hidden/Spoiler:
Well, for the skin you could use google images, other skins, or even a picture of yourself if you wanted. Then what I do is I scale the image, use the select tool to take skin and place it where it's needed. To get it to look more natural I zoom in and use the smudge tool to eliminate those creases that are a dead give-away (skin tones should be similar for this though)

I also use the nose, eyes, and mouth as checkpoints for where the re-skin should be (both scale-wise and placement-wise)

Don't know if that will help you at all, I'm not very good at skinning myself, but maybe it will give you some ideas :thumbs:
