How to sculpt skin detail in the right order

1. Block the underlying anatomy first. Muscle and fat forms come before any pore, wrinkle or scale detail — skin texture can't fix wrong proportions.
2. Add wrinkles and scales at medium scale. Place directional creature scales or facial wrinkle zones once the base form reads correctly.
3. Stamp pores and fine alphas last. Pore and micro-scale alphas are the final pass, applied at low intensity so they don't look pasted on.
4. Keep human and creature workflows separate. Human skin needs softer, denser pores; creature and dragon skin needs larger, more directional scale flow.
