Veins

To be honest, I use "lightning" type effects to simulate veins in my skins. Eye Candy or Xenoflex makes some decent plugins for such effects (Photoshop though)..

 

If you don't have access to any such plugin.. here's some good tutorials on how to make lighning on your own for PSP :) Though I think PSP has a lightning Tube doesn't it? (not sure)...

Once you've made a decent pattern, overlay the 'lightning' over your facial skin and drop the opacity (ALOT).. you can touch it up airbrushing over it with an eraser tool.. or my favorite, ample use of Dodge & Burn.. :)

My pleasure :)

 

Here's an example of how my veins tend to show up using the "faux lightning" method in case you want to see what it looks like before you invest a ton of time ;)

Crafty use of a soft, slight bevel added to the lightning (or even a quick and dirty drop shadow) will give the veins a 3-d feel to them :D
