Don’t let this distract you from the fact that he killed a man with *this thumb* 👍
Exactly what I was thinking too.😂
Οh ho ho u mean the guy from the Ratatouile
OH SHOOT, I can see him now
HELP I JUST WATCHED RATATOUILLE
i thought this was going to be a reference to some dumb tiktokers trying to cancel the thumb emoji
Reminds me of old oil painting techniques where the artist would start with a base of green paint & work up
Velazquez did so, often :)
why green color specifically?
@@marimoerostraw between green and red you find range for human skin tone.
You work your way up from dark hues, so dark green.
Lol. Ok, disregard my comment about a green base. I studied Fine Arts some centuries ago, there were still dinosaurs roaming on earth (no it wasn't a meteor what destroyed them, BTW, they just got super bored here, and migrated to Alpha Centauri system in a huge egg shaped space ship they built. They sometimes send us an UFO just for the laughs). Yes, many painters used a green base as it was convenient for many reasons, and probably Velazquez used (always a mix, not using a pure green pigment) green for some backgrounds (but many of the times it was a gray, or even gray-ish brown). But I just checked that Velazquez mostly used other tones as a the lowest color base. Many of the times dark red (or brown) was the tone left after applied the preparation. Sometimes was a grey or almost black base. The technique would often be for faces/body parts to start from that base adding lights (with very clear tones, not pure white), slightly, and building up so volumes, contrast, and "3D". Kind of quite similar to what is explained in this video, yet being a somewhat different technique.
In any case, my tip: Don't get too attached to a particular technique. There's nothing particularly right or wrong. Neither a end and be it all way to do it. The actual Velazquez, which is one of our most undeniable geniuses of all times, would be constantly changing in techniques, color base, stroke style, level of detail. And not always for preference, often for speed reasons.
What I would mostly extract from here is that it is great to start from a darker base, and red gives you a lot of the convenient tones for skin, specially in blood accumulation areas. Green is the complementary color of red (dunno if that was said), so it's also a great choice for generating contrast between light and shadows, but people must be very aware that whatever the lighting you choose for your scene, it does mandate hugely over the projected shadows colors and all tones, there's not a fixed rule of green and red.
What is super convenient is to be aware that the skin in a face will have many subtle tone changes, and that is what differentiates a flat portrait from a rich one. But not "inventing" the tones, but training your own observation skills, appreciating those tones in reality, those subtle differences (often those are killed in a photo versus in reality, be aware of that), being able so (thanks to constant observation) later on to generate a face from imagination with that tones richness, but always going from general masses to later on the details, from "global" first, to further on detailing, like always in drawing and painting.
I think the technique shown here is super convenient to generate a very nicely rendered portrait, whith very beautiful range of tones, and a u get a lower chance to do a "too flat" or boring portrait this way.
I just tend to try these things (and many others) in my own workflow, but keep always in mind the main principles about lighting (in reality), etc, as those (and all the foundations in art) are the ones to rule. Also, so that you can of course "bend" the rules as you prefer, at some point, for your personal expression, if so desiring.
@@3polygons I appreciate your comment a lot! Thank you for writing it!
the "areas of blood flow" makes so much sense color wise, definitely trying this out next time i paint
Seriously!! That was a lightbulb moment!
That's exactly why red tones are needed in almost all kinds of skin. As long as the character has red blood, the red undertones will be necessary.
What is the app???
More than "blood flow" (as I'm super literal and 'cause blood flows for all our body lol) I prefer "areas of thinner skin". Our eye leads, lips (face in general tho), hands and feet have a way thinner skin than the rest of our body (being the back our zone with thicker skin). Also, nose and ears deserve a special treatment as they are "just skin" (cartilage, not muscle or bones, so they are especially translucent).
is there a tutorial how to work with darker skin colour?
You can search the channel. This is a cut from an old video, they teach you how to paint different skin tones.
I thinknit was from ahmed aldoori
Yeah it’s in the extended version.
I use this method sometimes and personally, with darker skin tones I would start with blue or purple base color and work with darker reddish or yellowish/orange tones, depending on if I want their skin to be cooler or warmer
I know that omnia has one that works well!
Also, he didn’t mention it but he added a lighter purple (or any opposite cooler/lighter contrasting color) to the shadows! Its a called a bounce light if im not mistaken? Adds some extra dimension to the painting
By far the easiest method for organic breathing skin tones
Learned more in this short clip than most RUclips tutorials
this is actually the most useful and easy skin color tutorial ive seen in years
How'd you make this look so simple 😥
My guy released a tutorial video on this technique I tried it and spent a good five hours 👌 it works. I got my girlfriends olive skin at the cost of my sanity.
When the beats started I srsly went “my names blurry face and I care what you think”

OMG SAME I WAS WAITING LIKE whens the lyrics gonna start
'I wish i didnt have to rhyme everytime i sing'

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole video this was taken from, but this short made it so much easier to grasp. Thanks for posting!!
Wow, the same technique that I used to use 10 years ago :D Old but gold! It never fails.
Extremely helpful, thanks!
I came across this today and thought might aswell try it and it's so helpful!!!
never thought of using the base color as green, i have a cel shaded artstyle so im not too experienced with this style of coloring/painting.
This is actually good for painting as well
I keep saying Proko is possibly the best art tutorial channel on youtube, but this is by far the best quick skin tone tutorial I've everseen, holykrap! :)
what brush is this? living for it
I gave up at second step 💀
🗿
Art is so cool
Yeah, it is!
This actually makes sense
THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SEEING!! Finally!!! thank youuuuuu 😭😭
this is the definition of trust the progress on another level
Ah this tutorial is great!
Holy smokes, I've been wondering what the secret was to doing natural skin tone blending in digital paintings, and you gave me an epiphany with the differently colored base to start with... that is brilliant!
Along with doing the lower opacity skin tone over top of all the beginning color work, that really reminds me of makeup techniques where you do all the colored cosmetics like blush and bronzer first before doing foundation (basically the reverse order than is traditional) which can create a very natural look in the end.
Seriously, thank you so much for this short, I somehow connected the dots more from this little video than I have from multiple longform tutorials! I'm excited to try this with other skin tones and base colors as well, and it'll make it so much easier to tint the skin to certain undertones (neutral, cool, warm, olive, etc.) without having to fight with the color wheel to tease out the undertones that you need. This will really help to connect the skin tone to the surrounding lighting environments without muddying the colors too!
Sinix design🧚✨✨‼️
Ahmed Aldoori.
Finally! Thank you so much!
the blush in areas of bloodflow is so smart
Such good tip thanks
Really had to trust the process
My favorite part is the refining part. So much fun
When yiu started with green my brain didn't know wether to deconstruct or be happy wwith my inner artist self
I did both
this is so clear to me thank u
Watched the whole video months ago. These shorts do this lesson no justice.
this is actually so useful
Thats actually a super creative way to color human skin! I've been wondering how to do it, and it's the one thing that's discouraged me from coloring my drawings, but I'll try this and see if it works!
Yesss I love using greens, blues, and purples in skin
Damn, I didn't even see the green bits when the finished piece was first shown
So smooth wow❤
Wow thank you so much for this! It really explained well.
This was so helpful!
WHAT WAIT this is so smart holy shit brb painting over my last drawing to test this out!!!
Woaa thank you so much. You made it look so easy
Omg wow this was very helpful!! Thanks💖
that looks gorgeous wow
Thank u proko🙏
THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED
thank you
I've been doing this a lot lately with a dusty blue base layer! It looks so good every time without fail
Okay but doing shadows, highlights and simply blending them for the midtone helps me SOOO much bcs I always overcomplicated myself.
Thank you so much
Super helpful, thank 🙂
omg I was in a gallery yesterday where I was trying to understand techniques which might have been used for the paintings and I was so confused that there was so much green shade on faces, like it looked nicely but I still could see it so that's why! the paintings were from 18th-19th century though
Aldoori!
Took me two years to understand this method and I'm glad I'm using this now on my arts
Oh wow, I want to try this technique
great work
Great work 👍🏻👍🏻❤
So cool
The paint mixing guy is gonna be happy that you started with the color green
Cute!!!
Thank youuu
Definitely i will try this
Out here doing makeup digitally
In the under eye area you usually have a lighter tint, considering eye bags. But the perspective this drawing uses makes sense for there to be a darker eye area.
This video changed my whole drawing perspective, definitely lot more then an actual drawing tutorial….
Please dont delete this video or private it, im learning new stuff and some videos I saved from other artists got deleted or hidden
Now the problem is i always struggled with the blending process ! The output is just so messy. Anyone got tips for this?? 😢😢
Bestie that was crazy
Woah tysm
this made me understand values so much u have no idea
How should you choose your base color? Should it be similar to the background?
I use makeup logic here: colder base tones for paler skins, neutral for inbetweenies, and warmer for browner/darker skins. Start with a base and overlay with an environmental tone layer, either when laying down the base or after most of the image is completed. Depends on how much you like to work the colors yourself or let your tools do the work.
Any color you want
Ahmed aldoori... I just love his style and technique... Very classic
I want to learn thisssss
He has a whole course on i, available on Proko!

Trying this fr
This is a tutorial unlike the others, live everything about it.
This took me like five tries to even copy half decently, but Im so excited!!! Im trying to improve my painting skills so I can make a gift for the fam :)
Trying again and again is a solid way to do it!
Using green as a base color reminds me of old 1400s oil painters who did the same thing : started with washes of green and then developed warm tones on top of it
Exactly!
Felt like my brain just unlocked, wtf it feels like I got smarter
The artist is sinix design here on youtube!!
Nope! This is Ahmed Aldoori. You can check out the full video this is from linked below the title of this short.
What blending tool are u using? Because I can't get my blending to look like that
song??? Anyone know the song?
stoppp it can't be this easy :O
Song??
I never understood why artists would color something gray first. I get it's easier to color it in if you do. Thanks a bunch
looks like a character from disco elysim
Fucking awesome
I wuldn't personally use this for digital painting but this was so helpful for my traditional painting😊✨ Thank you!!
Am i the only one who only noticed the green in the final painting after they actually showed it being used?
Anyone know the song?
Wow😲
Tempera painters used this technique in the medieval days. Interesting how it still applies today.
Bro made it look so easy 💀
I watched the whole video but there’s a jump at the end where the blue hue appears. I tried to follow and see how the green and red could make it but I can’t. Did you add blue without telling us?
Also you can add blue and yellow:))
Nice
Man I need to see a full tutorial
Here it is: ruclips.net/video/mi62WC9LqZA/видео.html
entered the video 'cause I thought this was a Matt Smith speedpaint LMAO
Verdaccio technique
The face of when you wake up for work
For one second I thought I was watching a sinix video lmao great technique
Does this work for darker skin tones?
The under color will vary a bit, depending on the skin tone and can be seen in the full video at linked at the end.
