Description Part 2 & Finished Version


Here's my promised color tutorial! This is my first time doing one so any feedback would be welcome

I think I accidentally made it too detailed so I had to split it in two parts so the image isn't massive ;v; I'm not good at explanations haha.
This part has the base colors and hair explanation.

Also, English isn't my first language so sorry in advance for the grammar mistakes!
Enjoy! And if you have any question that wasn't answered on the tutorial let me know ^^

I'm sorry I didn't quite understand the question ;w;
Do you mean if you're able to use this shading method if your base has more than one color?

Yeah.

But never mind, I knew how to do it, just make the shading color darker than usual and lower the opacity. It worked

Como el pelo tiene un degradado de más claro arriba a más oscuro abajo, al usar un color para la sombra que quede bien para el color más oscuro, la parte de arriba que tiene el color más claro queda con mucho contraste y no queda muy bien. Entonces para bajar un poco el contraste, tenés que tildar Preserve Opacity en la capa con la sombra (así va a pintar sobre la sombra ya hecha, y no agregar sombras nuevas). Después elegís un color que quede bien para la sombra en la parte más clara del pelo (podes elegir un color más oscuro a partir de lo claro del pelo, o un color más claro a partir de el color que usaste para la sombra), y con el airbrush lo pasas un poco por la parte de arriba, para que quede con menos contraste en esa parte.


No soy muy buena explicando, pero espero que entiendas un poco más con eso ;w;
