Jak zrobic kolor skóry Ang

After making this tutorial,

I realized that it's quite difficult to create a good tutorial on coloring skin because it's such a diverse topie. Skin can be painted in a lot of different ways. For a really good tutorial on skintones, check out Linda Bergkvist's tips on her website at: http://www.furiae.com.

Coloring Skin in Adobe Photoshop

I tried my best here, so bear with me! Once again, my style is not hard-core realism or anime. It's usually somewhere in between, leaning morę toward realistic here. It's also going to have a shiny effect to it_; so be forewamed if this is not the style you want to strive for! Thanks very much, and I hope you find this somewhat useful. :) (Btw, I am working on the skin all in ONE layer. Just fyi, so don't worry if you thought it should be on morę layers.)

Alright, let's get started!

When I color skin these days, I like to start out by making a quick palette of colors that I think I might potentially use. I create this as a separate image file from my Picture and just keep it open next to my drawing, selecting colors from it as I go as if I were working with a traditional canvas and those palette....things you hołd....

You'll see that I chose a rangę of skin-hued beige colors from light to dark, and then added in some hues of purples and blues and pinks. Skin is never just one shade, of course, and adding cool colors like blue and purple really help make the skin look morę dynamie than if you were to just use peaches and browns. So, without further ado, here's my palette.

Lighter

edge

With the colors above, I usually start shading and lightening around the eyes first. Try not to use the Dodge and Bum tools here yet--they may give you some truły ugly shades of color.

We'll use them minimally later on, but for now, shade and highlight using only the brush tool set on Iow opacities (I'm brushing in the colors with a large, soft brush set at 22% opacity).

A photo reference is also useful if you want some help with where the light is falling on the skin. Notę the morę specific highlights and shadows around the eyes, where creases are morę defined

Continuing the shading around the eyes with only soft brushes. I've also started on the nose. The nose is a difficult part of the face due to its many angles and shadows. For me, I like to start out with the darker edge and add a little bit of shading around the nostrils. Don't overdo the shadows on the lighter edge. Let it blend in morę with the skin tones around it. For now, I'm using only the beige peach/brown tones in my palette.

morę with the surrounding

skin here. (Use black on Iow opacity,

sparingly!)

Stay tuned next time for Part #3 of the tutorial: How to Color Hair! Weil go from the image to our left to the image above. Ooh, fun stuff. :D

After doing my shading, I realized that the skin looked a little too gray and duli. In this step, I went to Image--> Adjustments-->Brightness/Contrast.

I inereased the Brightness a tiny bit (3-6%). Then, I went to Image--> Adjustments-->Hue/Saturation. Under Saturation, I gradually inereased it by about 10% to get some bright shine back to the skin (the way I like it).

I want to add some lines of bright highlights around her face and neck's edge, so it has morę dimension and to show that there's light behind her, too. On a background layer, I added in a darker color so I can see what I'm doing. Then, with a smali Dodge tool (35-pix) on 26% exposure, I went back to my Skin layer and slowly brushed in some highlights. Don't overdo it so that it washes out the color there.
