How I do the Thing~ For @shinagawadaichi

Using a Reference Pic, I grabbed the three tones i’m gonna use.

Base Tone: The Base skin tone, as shown. Mid Tone: The Tone i’ll be using for the “gradient” effect. Shadow Tone: What I use for the actual shadows.

Since my Ref Pic didn’t have three different tones for me to grab, I grabbed the two that were there, and made my own third one.

You said you use Photoshop, so idk what it’s called/what i looks like, but in GIMP, it’s called the Airbrush tool. (I call it the SprayPaint tool..)

Select that, and make sure the brush is set on a fuzzy brush.

I make sure the brush size isn’t too large/too small.

Then I just paint over the forehead area / neck area with the Mid Tone.

I clean it up and fix it so it’s not covering a huge amount of his face.

Then I add shadows. And Done~

(I didn’t use the prettiest colors for this, but it gets the point across.)
