- "What are your skin tones?". Well guess what. Here they are, right in this tutorial. The tutorial about rendering skin.
Photographer Angelica Dass Matches Skin Tones With Pantone Colors: www.angelicadas... (I used her awesome photography in the tutorial)
When you realize you have been drawing wax humans your whole life.
I didn't realize you wore foundation. Now I can see every pimple on my 4K Ultra TV
lol
weird flex but ok
I mean... his video is 1080p for everyone x)
i dont paint, but i love learning about this stuff. interesting
This is amazing! I'm color blind and always struggled with the "palette" approach. Now I have to memorize directions for a main color. GREAT! Thanks
This be one of the best channels for concept art and the like I came across so far.
Generally speaking the skin color palette is used for more cartoonish kind of approach, like manga style drawing. But even tho, using the same skin palette limits you a lot. I'm recently moving from standard cel shading, to a mixture of cel shading and painting. So while I still use linearts, I try my best to mix it with detailed painting. But still keeping it simple ofc!
So there is nothing wrong with using a color preset, but if you want to do more like digital painting like Boro does, you should forget about color presets and do what Boro teaches us in this video.
Holy crap. I've been through a lot of videos about painting skin tones and yours is the most helpful and informative out of all of them. Love the comedy too. THANK YOU
Really liked how you went through the logic of how to actually think about the materials and, therefore, render the skin, especially in darker skin colors... It would be great to watch another BoroSchool where you paint the same character with different skin colors (human colors or scifi, idk) and lighting setups.
I love this tutorial, my dude! I had been struggling with trying to figure out how to adjust the different hues for different parts of the body and the logic behind these chanes. You helped me make my humans look more alive and less like porcelain dolls, thank you :D!
Also, if I may add from my own well of knowledge, someone with vitiligo (the condition where patches of skin lose pigment) will also be thinner and thus have higher contrast, have more subsurface scattering and become more red and pink when agitated, areas that are more pink like lips will still be more pink than the rest of the body, but nowhere near as saturated as with skin with melanin, it will burn in the sun and not tan (since tanning is when cells produce more melanin to help withe the extra sun exposure and skin effected by vitiligo won't have melanin) and not have as much green from hair because most hair will grow out as white (also without pigment), though a few strands might be lucky and produce some pigment. Any kind of birthmark effected by vitiligo will become a very desaturated orange and scar tissue seems to have a more pale purple than scar tissue on normal skin. I'm only going based on my own experience since I have vitiligo. Sorry if my interpretations are imperfect, but again, this is based on my own observations with my own condition.
A friend of mine got vitiligo and I'm about to draw them, I just remembered your comment from years ago, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
From Borodante to Marco Bucci to Bobby Chiu with a sidestep to Zbukvic, you gotta love RUclips when you're a digital artist
True! But we shall not forget to paint and practice ourselves :P
I've heard exactly the same advice from traditional oil painting tutorials, so many digital artists try to work from basic copy and paste formulas. I'm so glad you made this video, Thanks Boro :D
Привіт borodante
I'm fan of you
Very proud that ukrainian are super talanted
Keep going bro
As someone who's been colouring plastic skin for years now this has been a great help.
I went to art uni and I love to visit stuff like this again to refresh color theory and all that good stuff. You summarize it so well here and make everything I might've forgot come back to me. Thank you!!
Hi Man !
So you never stop?
And i like that because it's exactly the type of information i needed. You are my Santa Claus ;)
I try it ...
I am trying to understand how the ambient color. Have you already done a tutorial on this theme?
Happy Christmas Boro
Definitly Santa Claus!!!
Thanks a lot!
Ahh it’s the guy in the painting 🤣🤣 jkjk
I'm so glad I found you, it took me like 3 years to find a concept art page that actually helps me, you're amazing, love from Colorado USA
I’ve learned more from your videos than from my actual art teacher. Thank you !!
this is the first video i see for this man, and i only saw four min of it and learned A LOT , and i loved his way talking and his voice!
thanks @BoroCG
The circles where they show you the colors the artist used are more or less used for Comic style art. Plus, comic creators use those simple colors because it's efficient. When drawing a comic you want your characters to look human but not realistic. That's because you don't have time. You have to draw 100 panels a week and the reader will probably just end up skimming through them in one minute, so why waste your precious time adding so many meticulous details to them?
Same thing with anime, everything is focused on efficiency and ease.
Anyways, I learned a lot from this video! Thanks!
The best teacher on youtube, who actually really generously and honestly share all his knowledges with viewers FOR FREE. You're amazing!
I freaking love your forehead
cultured.flowers sameeee
seriously stop your immaturity and shit! Why judge people?
what?
Dan Uberman
Firstly, that was a joke
Secondly, why so serious
His forehead gives my life meaning
Thanks for doing this! This is the sort of content artists should learn when thinking about painting flesh tones. I learned in school this way , but now I do tend to start with three simple distinct tones - light , midtone , & shadow. What I do from there is mix in other colors to each tonal area to mimic the look of living flesh, while not deviating from the tonal plan. I would actually recommend new painters to start simply , creating form first & then analyzing & improving color skills. It's better to keep painting , rather than not doing it because you feel your knowledge is incomplete , so new painters should not be discouraged!
It's strange how I never thought about using the color wheel to see the variations in the shading and highlighting. Also, I never realized from an artist's perspective how beautiful black skin is! What variation!
Why doesn't this channel have more views? This is the most comprehensive tutorial on skintones I have ever seen.
I think it has to do with skin types a lot. Most pale/ivory skin has a lot of yellow, purple/blues and greens in them from shade to light source. Skinny people show more bone, veins (purple/blueish) and that's why too. People with pink/rosy skin have a lot of purples and reds. Maybe browns idk
shadows are cold and deeper, lights more blank lol and the midtone between (tries to reason still)
Thank you for demystifying how to color and paint skin tones, one of my biggest struggles right now.
Just what i needed boro thanks
this is extremely helpful and sciencey/informative about how the blood inside our skin changes the hues of our skin from the outside depending on the extreme environments. thankyou so much ! ^^)
Best video I have seen about digitally rendering skin! Great job!!
I dont think that there is a better art channel on youtube than this one.
This is the hardest part about painting skin. I love painting people in dark and moody lighting, but the problem is its difficult to take photographs in that light so many photographs use fake lighting which is not the effect I want, so its hard to find references. The skin tones look different and I don't know how different light sources affect the skin in different directions. I just play around with it until it looks right.
i had a feeling you would post a video like this after you commented on marco bucci's video 😂
I watch and read many tutorials but yours is one of the most educational ones, which is pretty hard to find. I'm so glad I came across you on RUclips
I will forever use the two candle and weird guy technique.
This is probably the best video on painting skin tones that I've seen on RUclips. Great resource.
really really helpful, thank you! the 1-3 dimensional example at the end was a wonderful way to distill the information clearly
I loved exploring the intricacies of black and dark brown skins. You know how as a child you grab the white crayon to draw white skin, but eventually learn that white skin is more of a salmon/red/tan color? I was still in that mode when it came to darker skins. Black skin can be surprisingly purple. I think that the blue sky may greatly affect the ambient highlighting to make that happen. If you get ultra-black skin, it can get very unsaturated, too. Dark skinned individuals from India can have a very high saturation compared to shite or ultra-black skinned people also. So much to learn.
your videos really explain a lot, i have been triying to pass from comic style illustration to full painting, and this really help me to understand a lot of why i fail, thank you
I have absolutely no problem with sketching and outlining, but once I get to colourizing my artpiece, I *always* fuck up...
This video was so immensely helpful, thank you so so so much !
i've been taught this more than once and i feel like i only now get the gist of it. thanks
most nerdiest episode ever on the Boro channel, this helps a lot for basic understanding of how colors works not only on skins
What a Christmas present to see Borodante painting Vitas and doing a very good tutorial! :0
I love the explaination.. easy to understand and i hope i can apply it on my painting !
BEST take on skin, and for free, thanks boro.
Awesome "tutorial", you really made my understanding of shading skin so much better, big thanks for that!!
Thanks for the tutorial Dante! Colors are something I've been having a ton of trouble with especially with skin.
this is one of the best skin tutorials I've ever seen :D thanks for making this video :D
exactly the type of information i was looking for. good art teacher
Man I love your channel. You're funny and there's the drive to constantly improve. Looking forward to more!
Thank you Boro, this is a great Xmas gift. I actually was trying to think where I'd find a good skin painting tutorial and I found this one just in time. This was V helpful. Have a good Christmas :)
Boro, you can't do this to me..i'm away from home and i don't have internet..how am i supposed to watch you? ;w;
BORODANTE thank youu!!!
you're a star, through you're vid i actually found out i've been doing certain things right without knowing...some not so much
This is a great video!! Thanks so much :) Especially because you go into detail about skin, but also talk a little bit about other materials! so useful
Damn! Most underrated video ever!!!
Liked, Subbed, and clicked on all of the ads!
Omg .. I was looking all around for this and out of no where the notification of a new video appeared xD . Thanks a lot Boro
mind blowing, absolutely helpful and finally something applicable, I feel like I just sat through an entire semester at art school for free
Excellent content. I'll be watching this many times to make it stick in my brain (because old, lol). Time to practice! Thank you.
Christmas? Spending time with family? Naaah, there is a new Borodante's video! Btw I see a connection between this tutorial and your comment below Marco Bucci new video ;) (Stalker much... maybe not really, I like his "10 min to better painting" series).
I find it a little confusing when you painted that concrete candle with only one transition (in brightness), as if forgetting about all the "different light sources" thing. I mean I know what you're talking about, but I know your painting technique (at least your way of thinking about light and colors) for so long now and even though I learned a lot of new things today, I had a base of that knowledge. And I think that it could be confusing when someone is watching you painting skin "ok, so the shadowy areas of skin should be less saturated, because of the color of sky light" and then in your example you goes "just lower the brightness of color of the object". It is true in only white light and you didn't say that it works everywhere when the object is not translucent, but you could be more clear there.
But overall your video is very useful, I'm probably gonna watch it again and again every time I feel I need a better understanding of skin rendering. I still can't paint it right, but now I have an idea why (I didn't know where and how to put less saturated, darker colors of the skin, I knew it had to appear on the shadowy side but what with the more saturated darker colors?). I'm gonna try it out next time. Thanks, Borodante, really, you're my best (and kinda only...) teacher.
Thank you so much for this tutorial it was very easy to understand.
awsome. have a good way of explaining things. shed a new light on working with skin.
Thank you for explaining the reasons why you choose your colors. I feel more comfortable choosing colors. :)
This make so much sense, yet I had never thought of it, great video !
Boro, can you explain how to think in 3D when you drawing or painting a geometry ?
Wow, just stumbled upon your channel. You're amazing!
Very helpful! I’m wondering: is it the same set of principals when skin is lit by extreme colors?
Very interesting. It's actually so simple and makes so much sense as soon as you have this knowledge :). Thank you very much
I always enjoy your videos. It’s often the case that shadows using blue rather than a more saturated, red tone and hue give a similar effect, and may be a more interesting dynamic. How do you know when to use blue rather than red?
You definitely deserve more subs. Very good and thorough explanation.
It's one of your best videos. You're a good teacher
I'm learning how to color and this was INSANELY helpful.
I'M ENJOYING LEARNING SO MUCH FROM YOUR VIDEOS, Even though you seem to be drawn to the dark side, I noticed your are very neat and tidy. haha
This was awesome. I really enjoy your videos. Hey, how about analyzing artists that use really extreme colors in skin tones and how they get it to look right. Like a real green in the shadow and harsh red-orange noses and whatnot. Know what I mean? From a step back it looks great, but up close it's these crazy harsh color changes.
This was superrr helpful I've been struggling with colors a lot thank u so much
you're such a great teacher, man. it was helpful and i really enjoyed watching it :D
Удивительно, что только вчера нашла этот канал. А еще больше удивляет такое маленькое количество просмотров.
Очень крутые и полезные видео!
hello from Brazil... 1st - Thanx for sharing this awesome knowledge... 2nd - congrats, nice channel and amazing arts
Very nice skin tone tutorial. Just a silly point though, you kinda got the candle a bit wrong. Candles that are lit show far more translucency near the top, and especially around the top edges where the material is thin, so even though it is a cylindrical shape, there is as much variation from the top to the middle, as there is from left to right. It's the same as when you have back lighting on ears and fingers but I'm 1000% sure you are familiar with that. I'm just saying for context.
Wow this is an amazing tutorial
this was really useful and intuitive, thankyou so much!
this is really helpful video! i tried to see if i can do it, but i'm really having a hard time with mixing the colors together to make the skin or to even get a shape, like the face, or somewhat the eye... should i start in grayscale first and practice further?
Ah thank you so much for the advice! I've been struggling with skin tones the longest time :')
Now I kinda know what I'm doing at least..
Thanks man it was really a rocket science for me to figure out the colors of skin. Lets rock now :D
This IS helpful, thank you for your helpful and entertaining videos.
What a wonderful tutorial!!! I just watch 3 videos i love your chanel
still loving your art.
You are so helpful!!!!! Such a great tutorial
Amazing tutorial! Thank you very much for such a good one!!
What's the program you use to paint in this video?
It is Paintstorm Studio, ver. 2.42 now Win/Mac SALE for 20$ US (23$ two comp) Life time licence, transferable to another computer if needed. Faster than Photo Shop for brush work. There is trial option before you buy. Check "ArtRage 6" if you are for dedicated "digital traditional painting style".
Thanks a lot, it will take time to digest.. It’s awesome to learn from you)) Merry Christmas to you and your family))
First video i watched from you, i really liked it ! I started searching for skin tones mostly concerning the really dark spots which i can never get the right color, it just looks off ( maybe someone knows how to deal with that? )🤷🏻♀️ This is really informative, keep it up !
Very well explained. Thank you for sharing this! My regards from México
So, ifI want to warm a skin tone up, I move more towards yellow, and if I want to cool it I move more towards red?
I just found this channel and I love it. Thanks for the information! :^)
So clear and explicit! Thank you’
Excellent info vid, will be an ideal vid to keep referring back to.
This is pure gold man!!
This video is just what I needed, thank youuu !
i love this brush!!!
So good, thank you.
Very easy to understand and straightforward boro thank you :)
