The way I do blood is kind of dumb, and complicated. xP I'll be happy to give a brief synopsis, though. I use GIMP, so if you don't, I think it can at least help a bit. xP First, I choose a nice stencil, for my upper layer, smoke----And then I choose a nice red-- preferably for the middle layer, since I'll add highlights later----And then I begin to draw a bit. I like to spread it around a bit, and scatter it-- scattered if you want it to look like splattered blood, gathered in one if you want it to look like a wound. I take four layers, one for the skin, and three blank. I choose the middle one, and get to work.After that, I go to the third layer, and I add a dark undertone to it-- I like to do a dark purple for wounds, to emulate bruising. If it's a splatter, a dark brown will work.Then, I go to the third layer, and I change the transparency to about 40%, to make sure it's not too noticeable. Then I'll go to the first layer, and pick a brighter colour than the middle layer, for effects.Then I'll take that same stencil and use a harder brush, to put on the effects of the blood. Don't rub it around, just dab it, and it should be similar to this.After that, I blur it, and then I take the eraser tool, and I dab at the edges of all of the layers, giving it a rugged look.After that, it's all about knowing where to place it, what colours to use, and how to style it. ^^ I hope I helped in some way! If you need anything else, feel free to PM me, I would be more than happy to help, but I may respond slow, I'll try to help when I can. ^^
