Hi guys so one of my viewers asked me how I colour in skin and I thought I would briefly discuss it with you today
How I am colouring skin with this current piece of work
Now when we are talking about rendering color it's really about layering your colors and blending them
and what I did in this piece was I chose for up to 6 to 10 colors and I layered them and I blended them.
I Blended the lighter color and I built my shadows and depth with the darker colors so as you
can see here
I'm creating those cheek bones, the shadows on the jaw lines and the bridge of the nose
And then I would just blend and I'll layer with my multiple colors
So the best way to do this is layering and is using a reference picture as well
let's talk about skin tones, skin tones isn't just pink flesh. In skin, in photos
you will see some blues
some greens and that sometimes can do like depend on the lighting
it can also depend the underlying pigments in skin. For example some people may have more of a green tone skin or a yellow tone skin for example. Or if you have freckles then you have a red tone.
So before I briefly discuss advanced color accents. So the advanced color accents are
the Blues the reds, the purples and the greens and these are in a sense unconventional
colors and they're they're colours like blue, purples and greens that give the skin depth.
But I would say you haven't done this I wouldn't do it. I'm not not very comfortable doing it and haven't done so in this case
it's very advanced technique. Also when you are selecting your colours to
render, you need to consider whether your skin is going to be dark, medium or light
also need to pay attention to certain things like whether someone has more pink undertone
or yellow undertone which is here
Be aware of whether you want more pink tone or yellow tone etc also working in those highlights and shadows
and your lightest colors would be your highlight and you darkest colours would be your shadows
And then you would have you mid tones, however many you want to put in. But the you can also put in accent
colors that would highlight. if you're advanced enough. there's nothing wrong with experimenting
and practicing. Another tip is to look at your light source and how your
shading your piece of work..Now I may not have done the correct rendering
It may not be hyper realistic but hey..art is art
Art is expressive & unlike math there's no right or wrong to art. Art is just you expressing yourself
Be yourself and creative and create beautiful pieces of work
so who care what other people think
So guys just have fun with it and enjoy creating and being creative.
practice makes perfect at the end of the day so what I'm going to do is speed up the video
and add background music and enjoy the rest of the video you guys
