@@ChrissaBug I'm your new biggest fan. Love your work, Your inspiring me to continue my work. I needed this since I'm trying to learn how to paint digitally.
Ok so your color scheme in the beginning of the video inspires me. It’s your hair color plus the orange hat then the purple in the background = instant color palette.
Yayyy!!! I prepared a sketch to color in while watching this tutorial 🤩 I haven’t found a good tutorial to go over this topic. Thank you so much for making this
For fantasy colours skins I usually try to think what colour their blood is, like for a blue skinned character I'd make their lips and blush sort of greenish rather than red (A good way to tell if you're not sure is moving the hue until the skin looks like a real human colour and check if the blush looks normal)
One thing to make note of when using reference is to be aware of the colour temperature and tint of the reference photo. In the portrait she used for the Black skin tone, I noticed the picture had a lot of blue colour temp with a green tint - but these things can easily be adjusted, so it might be a good idea to change the reference photo to match your art's lighting situation! :)
Skin coloring has to be one of the more harder things to grasp, and clearly your time in the art exhibits/museums did not go to waste. thank you so much for your time and this tutorial, it helped me immensely with the heat mapping!
Ahhhh! Great tutorial! So, because RUclips tends to attract terrible contents, here's a long ass comment of good stuff: Your video quality is good. You've clearly taken time and care into putting it together and it's truly appreciated. I found your break down of the color bands very helpful--it's been years since I've seriously done anything digital seriously (I was last using CS5 lol), so I'm new to CSP and super rusty, so I find this video and your art to be a great motivator for me to get back into it. Thank you for putting in so much effort for your fans and followers, and I hope this comment makes your day. ... AND DEMAND COMMENTERS BE POLITE.
1:31 - 2:00 This simple break down of colors on the face just blew my mind. Like it's so obvious when you finally see it, how did I not figure this out sooner?? THANK YOU SO MUCH. 🙏
thank u so much for clarifying why and which shadows are going to be hard or soft,, i would often watch tutorials for facial shading but never get an explanation for where hard and soft shadows are and what determines them and my paintings would turn out really fuzzy or plainly unpleasant so this is extremely helpful!! :D
I’ve always been SO scared to paint in skin digitally. Any other video made it harder for me to do so - you made it SO simple for me! Even tho I know how skin, color, shadow etc work, I did this step by step with you on procreate and it halped me a ton! Thanks a ton!
I've always experimented with different ways to paint skin for years and every time I think I've settled, I find a new method to try!! Not that I didn't already do this, but I've never tried using hard light for skin. I'm going to have some fun with this!!
right? their tutorials and vids are super super underrated! they are one of my inspirations to create my own tutorials and art vids, just posted my first 3 and while i have no views and no subs i am excited to make them!
These came out beautiful! thanks for including a fantasy skin! Also, this was hands down the Best digital skin tutorial I've ever watched. you explained it in a way that made so much sense! I have struggled with my digital art being to airbrushed for so long and struggling to add shadows and highlights well so thank you so much!
Your voice is comfy and pleasant to my ears i dont get annoyed by it even if i watch like over an hr, NO JUDGING ON OTHER ARTISTS ITS JUST MA OPINION OM THIS ARTIST IJUST DISCOVERED. anyway i followed her tips and im impressed by myself i literally suck at shading skin and her explanation made me a pro not totally but boi i improved
this really helped me out, i had finished lineart and had the flats coloured in - thank you so much for the incredibly helpful and easy to follow guidelines!
This is great! I hadn’t thought of the gradients in the face. This helps a LOT. One thing I got to thinking as you did the blue girl, though, is that the blood is something to consider too. So if the character needs to have blood of a different color, say, blue, or green, then their blush should reflect that
I can't tell you how helpful this was! You explained and demonstrated everything so well I was really able to pick up some helpful tips right after the first watch. Immediately motivated to get back into digital :)
the watching makeup vids strategy is so true! i have been watching makeup vids before i was drawing, so that helped me with the "basics" of shading,, also thank you for this video chrissa!!❤❤
I was struggling with skin colors so much. Hands, arms, necks and ears were fine, but faces always looked kind of fake so I really needed this. Thank you
this is one of the best tutorials on skin shading on yt not gonna lie, its very in depth considering its only half an hour long as opposed to most tutorials. this really helped me and i hope it helps others as well. thank you so much for putting this video out here!
I love this! I wanted to learn to render skin, but most tutorials weren’t near my style, and realistic skin rendering with my style is not at all good, I love this! I subscribed
the fantasy skin tutorial was JUST what i needed omg - i also immediately sent a link to my bestie because this is SO incredibly helpful! thank you so much!
i know this has already a year but it is the best tutorial i found, there are plenty good artist but the way you explain it is easy to follow and i finaly understand some uses for the layers, thank you very much :D
I can't even begin to describe how helpful this tutorial is. I almost never work with colors but Im new to Digital art so trying to find the right brushes and techniques to digitally apply colors have been an absolute pain until this video. Thanks so much!
so as it turns out, following this as a tutorial works very well for texture painting a character in blender too. very helpful for making my skin shader look better, Thanks.
Hi! I am from Ukraine and my english bad, but(!) I understand most of you say in video and I so happy with this! You speak so clearly! Your illustrations just amazing and you too. Your tutorial that's it what I searched for so long. Thank you so match and more tutorial like this please:)) P.S. Music in video so pleasant and soothing) You are incredible
this was quite helpful! especially the details about cast versus form shadows was very informative and good to see your techniques around selectively softening these things and to see what a difference it makes
this is literally the best help ive had ever with skin tones!! i was completely hopeless before watching this video and now i have artwork in front of me that looks good i’m so happy
ALLLLLL THESE ART RUclipsRS TALKING ABOUT HARD AND SOFT EDGES AND NOT A OOOOOONE HAS MENTIONED CAST AND FORM SHADOWS AND A SIMPLE WAY TO IDENTIFY THEM. I SWEAR THIS IS A LIFE CHANGING MOMENT FOR ME
thank you so much, this is very helpful, you explain things well. i have been struggling with this for a while, the way people would say "just shade here" without explaining why!! thanks for explaining the heat map.
I have a hard time with procreate because I don’t want super realistic drawings I want a more cartoon ish style so this video helped me a lot thank you!!
Thank you sooooo much! This is amazing! I learned so much! This helped me make my skin look so much better! Could you do a stylized hair tutorial? That would be the best!
This tutorial helps in so many ways, it helps you locate the shadows and highlights of the face, and the style of it is really pretty. The pallete and tones you use for the skin shows soft and warm colors for the skin. This helped alot!
YO, You definitely have a HUGE FAN from Brazil! I`M SO SO HAPPY THAT I FOUND YOUR WORK! Thank you so much for your tutorial, it helped me a looooot. I`m finally back into something I really love again. I just did my first attempent following this video and it turned out so good. Your brilliant, girl! Hope your art take you to the top of the world, right where it should be
I don’t usually comment on videos, however, this has got to be one of the best tutorials I’ve ever watched, I really transformed my drawing with your tips 🙏🏼 🛐
THANK YOUUUU SOOO MUCH, this is the only video that enhanced my skin coloring AAAAHHH , i love you so much, please continue to do more of these, i will be here to support ya!
i had never done a full colour drawing (i’m very new to art) and i didn’t watch the full video but this really worked so well and i love what i made! so thank you so much!
Suuuuper helpful thank you so much! Especially learned something with the form and cast shadows explanation - thanks for taking the time to break that down.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Fist time trying to shade digitally so was REALLY REALLy getting dishearten and this video was so easy to follow that it make me feel braver to continue trying!! THANK YOUUUUU
This was wonderful!! I love seeing art where the face is just full of colours instead of one tome, it makes me more lively :3 cant wait to start doing this with my art.
i have so many reference images of painting and all that yello,blue and red mark study but i never understood hov to do it ......but thanks to u nov i knoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..................................THANK U
Thank you SO much - I feel like crying (because of happiness oc). I felt so frustrated and overwhelmed when it comes to shading skin. My characters always looked so flat and I had the feeling that my skin painting level was far below everything else. But you helped me SO much - you litterally saved my characters. I did a painting step by step with your video and it looks so good now T^T Again: thank you so so much
Omg this is fantastic! I've been looking for a more comprehensive skin shading tutorial recently and this is super helpful! I'd also love to see a video on explaining shadows for different times of day and casted shadows from objects. I tend to struggle with those a lot and I can never find a tutorial that explains them well.
It’s been months since I’ve been drawing happily. I’ve wanted to learn to paint digitally and every time I do it turn out horrible. I can’t thank you enough for this video, saved me from giving up on art
I don't comment on videos very often but this was genuinely so helpful, thank youuu!! Love that you explained your thoughts before each decision and your voice is really easy to listen to haha
Really enjoyed this, I’ve really noticed myself overworking the skin in my drawings and I’m never happy or satisfied because by the time I’m done it looks like I just airbrushed the whole thing ahah. I’m going to try out this type of stylization! Thank you
Thank you so much for going out of your way to make this for us. People truly do appreciate it when you take the time out to make these videos for free. No one could blame you if you didn't, but we all truly appreciate the effort you put into this. Again, thank you much. Well done tutorial!
This is just incredible.... now it makes sense why my faces looks like some yellow lemons with no colors whatsoever 😂
Ahh! lol! Glad it was helpful!
