The easiest way to paint skin is to start understanding the relationships between different colors. Do a lot of color studies where you copy the colors just by looking, using your eyes. Great video nonetheless!
And another thing. He was able to easily pick the colors using gradient maps, because he had an amazing foundation of well painted values! Pay attention to values people.
They aren't """special""" settings, he had the foundation with values already laid out so in a sense this is painting. Values are essential to any type of art. It's a smart short cut for digital painters especially if you have to pump out a large amount of stuff. Thanks man!
just wow, thank u very much for this tutorial. rly helpful indeed.. can u do make more tutorials about how to paint skin? different ways?.. sry for my english.. :D
Glad you found it useful! Yep, we've got many more tutorials lined up, there will be more skin tutorials too :) Make sure to subscribe and follow us on www.paintable.cc
thankyou for this tutorial ! ^^ it's really helpful but i don't understand the part on how you make "the skin tone layer" available on the RGB channel. Did you do it manually or something? thanks in advance ^^
I'm not sure to understand your question. Do you mean the section? If you mean the the marquis selection when I clic on my channels, it's because I already previously saved the selection contour of my skin and when it is saved it goes in you channels. Therefore you jus have to clic on it. But you need first to make and saved the selection and then save it. To save it you have to go under select>save selection. Hope this help :)
It's with the shortcut (COM/CTRL + Y) which "Proof Colors". But to make it work follow this path: View>Proof Setup>Custom>Device to Simulate>Dot Gain 20%. Press OK then try the shorcut for "Proof Colors"
It's a legit technique. He could've done the exact same thing with a brush - this just portrays a shortcut on how to do it faster and simpler, and it only lays the growndwork on which to continue detailing the actual skin colors and details.
Thank you for your wonderful insight, Captain Pedantic. What's next? Speedpainters can't *really* paint within the amount of time displayed on their stopwatch because they didn't include the time it took to gather and create the all pigments they used?

How did you switch to grayscale so quickly at 0:25

What program are you using?
All our tutorials use Adobe Photoshop
Corel Clip Paint Shop Pro
wait, how you got the color wheel? i don't have one
It's a plugin called Coolorus: paintable.cc/coolorus-review/ - Huge improvement over Photoshops color picker!
You are made for “the tutorial guy”
How to paint skin:
1) paint skin
2)...
you are not -painting- the skin tones.. You are just picking colours from other pictures, and using them with the special settings
Maja it still doesn't make him less of an artist, he made this video for beginners so it's easy to understand
Maja sure whatever, it was just helpful
It's more of a "So you know how to paint skin tones. Learn how to modify the colour of your piece using gradient maps."
Not for beginners
It's a legit technique. He could've done the exact same thing with a brush - this just portrays a shortcut on how to do it faster and simpler, and it only lays the growndwork on which to continue detailing the actual skin colors and details.
Maja I thought I was just dumb lol. "Am I missing something here? When does the painting start?" Lol teach us the cloner brush next man!!
😮😎✍️🖌️🎨🖼️💯
what a misleading title
click bait.... Noo one can paint under 5 minutes, you already had all the values set up
Thank you for your wonderful insight, Captain Pedantic.
