hey!! I was just looking at your newer art and its sooo amazing!!!! i hope you dont mind but i was actually wondering what your process is for painting skin, i always have a hard time with it but the way you do it is so pretty aha :]
Heeeeeeeeeey <333 Thank you sooooo much <333 I'm so glad you like them! Hmmmm, I don't actually have a specific procedure. What I do is simply this:
-I color on different layers. I usually end up with at least 15/drawing. If you're happy with how your coloring looks, don't wait, move on to another layer and color again. I think moving to new layers frequently makes it easier to erase and edit without having to alter anything on the layers you're happy with.
-Also try colors that don't seem to make sense, if a color still doesn't make sense erase it and try another. Don't worry about coordinating colors or creating a color palette prior to drawing since you can always step back and try something else. There are no consequences as long as you're working on a new layer right? Like it? Keep it. Hate it? Delete it and you're drawing is as good as it was.
-This here is important for me: I play around with layer settings so much that you rarely find a layer with "normal" as its setting in any of my drawings; you can find everything: overlay, multiply, screen, color dodge etc etc. Play around with these even after you think you're done coloring, see how it changes the way the layer looks. Sometimes new combinations seem to work better as you go further into coloring.
Try to your heart's content, it's your drawing, you decide the rules. Layers, Colors, and Settings are all there to help you and they can. Give them a try! I'd love to see what you come up with! Hope this helps! Good luck :*
