No its not another how to skin tone thread.
I had a go tonight at making a skin tone starting with violet, adding white to lighten then some yellow/red and more white.
The first pic is the paints as I added although there is a missing sheet with three steps on with just a little more red and white I think then the second pic is what i came up with.
Using the tips on here I’m quite happy for my first attempt.
So here is my question if you wanted a darker tone for shadowy areas how would you add say a low mid grey?
Would you just add some whate and then black into the cup and mix or would you reach for a pre made grey?
I’m understand about black to darken and white to tint, but its just the grey part that is alluding me at the moment.
Just after tips how people go about it when creating different shades using greys.
