Tutorial "How to draw different skin tones" tutorial. Part II
Added 2024-04-13 14:00:09 +0000 UTCI've sped up the process a bit to keep it from being too lengthy (though it's still an hour long😅), ensuring you can clearly see everything I use—like which brush I pick, the layer I'm working on, etc.
A few tips:
When doing skin tone studies, keep light and shadow in mind, but choose the colors you see on the reference by eye. Avoid using the eye dropper tool (only use it to check how far off you might be in color accuracy), and rely mostly on your own vision. In this video, you’ll notice how I try different color options and adjust them to find the right one.
Experiment! Try adding various shades, but keep an eye on the tone in grayscale. These studies don’t have to be perfect, don't try to draw everything in detail.
And if it doesn’t turn out right, that’s okay. Sometimes the colors might mix into 'muddy' ones, and that’s normal. Keep practicing :) Each sketch you make, whether it looks bad or good, is a victory and a learning experience.
Tag me in your works or share them here in the comments. I'd love to see what you’ve achieved!
