You condense and refine information into a few powerful short minutes. It has been taking me (a beginner) months of internet research to find airbrush specific colour theory with transparents. This tutorial in flesh tones is excellent. You empower us with knowledge that accelerates our learning. I remain perpetually grateful.
I have spent years watching color theory videos and always walked away more confused than before. But this video is the best, most practical, color theory video ever. It cuts right to the chase on how to mix flesh colors for the practical world.
i've learned these ideas from different sources in different ways, but this is by far the most succinct and elegant way to explain them and bring them all together. great video thank you.
I think Ive watch every video on airbrush paint and yours, by far, are the best. You have such a way when explaining your technique and process that make following you so unintimidating. And this video was just I was looking for, thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your extra ordinary talent.
This is just the video i have needed, i am self taught and hopeless at skin colour. your video has, in less than 15 minutes helped me more than all the reading i have done in years, many thanks mate
Another winner video easy to understand! Great samples, and again a well produced video something not very easy to do. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
Aweeesome Sweet theory...love it. I'm watching may not comment all the time. This is a great video. Thanks for making it easier for everyone out here...cheers 👊🏽👍🏽✌🏽
This is awesome. I have had some problems with getting skin tones right. I probably shouldn't have considering I have the whole illustration life line and blood line but ive never tried color portraits before and being a self taught airbrush artist it is almost over whelming having that many colors to use as skin tones. Idk. This simplified everything very nicely. Lol You are great man. Thanks for all your videos.
Great video and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all, it's always a good day when you post a video up and again Thank you and I hope you have a great day..
Thank you for your excellent explanation and demonstration! Didn't realise that the video was about air-brushing but knowing what colours to start with is a huge help as I have always had issues with where and how to start. Now all I have to do is work out how to put this in action using medium-body acrylic paint from a tube - and white! I'm sure I can do this...
Oh my.. Thanks a lot for this lesson, never see anything like that before here on YT... thanks for your generosity for sharing all this knowledge with us!!! Keep up with your great work!!!
I know you have recently given Schmincke Aero colours ago as I have. Personally I find them to be a fantastic ink / paint. Any tips on flesh tones I haven’t yet ventured past Flesh Tone, Brazil Brown, Magenta and Dark Brown / black in the mix for darkest shadows.
I couldn't agree more. I love these paints! This week's B&W portrait is using Schmincke Aero colours and they were amazing. I haven't painted any portraits in color yet with these paints but when I do, there will def be a video.
What are the odds you could spray both a transparent and an opaque color, and show them under a microscope in one of your videos? I'd be really interested to see the difference. I have a hard time understanding when to use one over the other and what the benefits/uses between them are.
Thank you very much for the tutorial. I only disagree with you regarding the stated lack of greens on skin. Certain skins do have a touch of green, or grey.
"White" isn't a color. "White" is the absence of color. "Black" is all the colors, except "White" because "White" is the absence of color. "Black" mixed with the absence of color "White" decreases the color "Black" to form "Grey" by removing color and lightening the shade. By contrast, you cannot produce "cold". You can only remove "heat". This is a law of thermodynamics. The removal of "heat" lowers the temperature to produce "cold". This is how your freezer and air conditioner works. The removal of color produces "cold". Cold is "White" like snow and ice. The above has nothing to with race because there actually are no "White" or "Black" races. If the "White" woman in the above images were actually "White", she would blend in with the "White" background all the images are superimposed upon. As one can clearly see, she's not "White". NOBODY IS, just as nobody is "Black". There is no such thing as a "Black" race nor is there any such thing as a "White" race. There are only shades of brown in the races and ethnicities of humans. Some are darker, some are lighter. We are all human. This could be perhaps the reason artists often (but not always) see the beauty in all people.
Thank you very much I am still learning a lot, I can never get the colors that you put in the videos I always put the exact drops to what you say and I can't do it and I keep trying and trying and I still can't get to the color that you get I have bought other bottles of paint to see if it's the paint but it still doesn't work 🥹

Where did you get your skin texture stencil ? Thanks
Made it myself. I made a video on this a few months back all about stencils. Check it out!
What are the odds you could spray both a transparent and an opaque color, and show them under a microscope in one of your videos? I'd be really interested to see the difference. I have a hard time understanding when to use one over the other and what the benefits/uses between them are.
That is a great idea. I'm actually working on a video on opaque vs. transparent colors so I'll include it in that. It'll be out in a month or so.
Rad 🤙 I'm looking forward to the next one, just like the ones before it.
Thank you very much for the tutorial. I only disagree with you regarding the stated lack of greens on skin. Certain skins do have a touch of green, or grey.

Looks similar to burnt sienna, an orange brown.
The woman with the blond hair What's the Name of that Skin Color Please?
Dont let the race baiters hear your opening statement lol all jokes aside flesh can be rough to get right
You get a sub for your troubles
