This is the preamble before I begin the tutorial for how I do the images I create. One of the big things i'm going to stress is using the right program that has the proper tools.

The tools and functions that will be needed are
Lasso
Clone
Magic wand
Color replacement that's usually attached to the paintbrush and that you can adjust opacity of either tool
Blur & smudge with the ability of adjusting the strength
Burn & Dodge with the ability to use midtones, shadows and highlights
Liquify
The ability to work in layers
ability to distort layers IE changing perspective and stuff
Ability to adjust layer color
Ability to match layer color
Ability to adjust hue-contrast, etc


In this case when i did the bulk of my projects i used Photoshop CS2, it is offered as a free download by Adobe, buried in the downloads section and you don't have to worry about the whole registering part of the app you can simply exit out of that. Though fair warning it does cause the screen to freeze up while booting, it's nothing serious. I have tried out other programs and while some had the basics none of them had everything.

Another key point this will only work if you have access to a ok laptop or desktop, or one of the high end drawing tablets. And if you usually use mobile apps like fatbooth or things that just let you bloat parts of a body, just deposit all of those in your recycle bin, some of them aren't worth the data they're taking up on your device.

I cannot speak for apple products though since i've never owned a Ipad, i've tried the ones available for kindle and they're just too clunky to use.

This is really only a basic level tutorial and it won't bring you anywhere near top-tier, I for one only consider myself a high tier ameture. Since this is still only just a hobby and everything i have learned is either self-taught or someone who has given me advice. 

I'll be going more in depth in the process when i start uploading the separate parts of it.
The little preamble for the tutorial on how i do the images i create.

I honestly have no clue if i submitted this to the right path.

Could you give a link to the download, because the only download I found was some zip file
