Description
Request by one of my watchers, who asked me about my color choices when painting skin.Even though I haven't been uploading my commissions lately except to their owners, I think maybe other people will find this useful.
Notice that when I blend the outcome is different than the actual color selection (the colors I pick when I use watercolor or airbrush like tool).
When I'm only using hard brush like pen, I will mix the color optically, but it's easier to explain the way I do this using the "true" colors I'm mixing together in my head. So you could mix it together on a separate layer and eyedrop selection from that if you want.
Hope this is useful even though it's more notes than a tutorial. I would like to make a color theory tutorial eventually... that is really a tutorial.
And you can use this for any digital media and any style really.

This is a very helpful tutorial. I often make the mistake of going with only one color hue. Not only with skin, but other things as well.

This is very helpful. It's hard to find saturated pallets for darker skin. These pallets are wonderful!

Same hue is great for some surface~ but if you are drawing skin, not so much ^^
Unless you are coloring data from star trek h h h ^^ ;;

I really appreciate that you used a dark skinned reference with this, It sure as hell helped me out a lot, and others as well who complain that coloring darker skin characters are hard.Β
