...So in PS you could paint just by setting opacity really low and airbrushing, changing colors as needed?

Do you use a tablet?

I don't have one, but I REALLY want one. It wasn't much of a pain to option click to get a color, but in PS you wouldn't need to adjust colors that much. With airbrushing you the low opacity just builds on itself and the other colors to mix. Here's an attachment I gave ragman. It's just 3 colors using the airbrush: http://www.battleforums.com/attachment.php?postid=652873
Talk to me on AIM if you have any questions.

I probebly should have asked this earlier, but do you have a copy of that before you photoshoped it? You said you drew it by hand then played with it in photoshop right?
I didn't have a single copy to work with, I would do a rough sketch of a nose I liked and then redraw it on the computer. I didn't really need the sketches after I had drawn them in, they might still be in some of last year's school folders. I could have directly scanned a sketch and then colored it in, but I had tried that with the PS airbrushing, and I think that's what really turned me off to it. Coloring inside the lines was limiting in PS, so I thought I would try and do it all digital the second time.

Thanks for the comments, everyone.
