Atomhawk Tutorial - Painting Skin - by Charlie Bowater 

@justa_aurora Sorry. I just saw your comment here. It's the free one, named "Free Brushes" locating on the very left side of Charlie's Gumroad page. I just checked. It's still free now. Cheers!

@@PeteCranfield what’s it’s called? I tried to figure out which one specifically but I can’t figure it out! Also if you can recommend any brush sets that are free that would be much appreciated! 😃

@@bluearmani9853 Hi there! Just google "charlie bowater free brushes" and select the first result. It'll take you there. You then enter "0$" (you can donate to her as well) and hit the "I want this!" button and the download should start immediately. And for the recommendation on brush sets, I would recommend that you should stick to and master the basic Round brush. It's my favorite. Cheers!

Hey! Don't worry about it, when I first started painting digitally around 2 years ago, I had the same problem. My recommendation would be to practice blending by painting gray scale (black and white) objects to start out. Focus on laying down flat, clear values in the beginning to block out your forms. Then, you can diffuse any unwanted hard edges by lightly sweeping back and forth over the edge with a slightly textured brush. Painting gray scale cubes, spheres, cylinders, cones, and pyramids will allow you to practice your blending before moving onto more complicated forms. Also, even though it's boring, painting basic shapes will teach you the fundamentals of values, form, and edges that you'll use every time you paint/draw. After you get the hang of blending the basic shapes, move on to more complicated subject matter - like still life, and eventually characters. I'll link below some amazing resources for learning the fundamentals of drawing and painting. These are the resources that have completely transformed my art in the last two years, so I hope you find them useful :) 1.

Elle Reese thank you so much!

Great to hear you enjoyed the video but we're not sure if or where the brushes can be downloaded from. Sorry we can't be of more help.

Atomhawk Design thanks for replying :)

The one she uses most of the video can be found by googling Ruan Jias brush pack

evolve thank you so much!!

bit late now, and I don't know if they're recent, but charlie has a brush pack for free up on gumroad!

Melissa • same 😫

linked in the description: soundcloud.com/thesamepl/the-truth-true-lies-the-same

you can get her brushes for free seraching Charlie Bowater at gumroad.com

not finding it.. dont know what the name, look like they arnt free either

@@redakumaproduction its still free on that web site..

brushes don't matter

MoogleCaliS OH YEAH They do! I couldn't do a lot of things without certain brushes that I had to add. You can do the same stuff without them, but It's much harder, and takes a lot of time

jesse pinkman It maybe late but...Here is a link. gumroad.com/charliebowater

@@MAHDI-kw4pr brushes dont matter when you're first learning to paint. And considering that you're making a tutorial more geared towards beginners, you should encourage them to learn how to just paint normally first and add textures/other shit later. Brushes do not matter.

You can paint with just a hard round brush. That's literally all you need.

I'm probably really late but she has her brushes on gumroad for free.

i was just thinking the same thing I'm trying to learn and they covered the colors indicator lol

There isn't magic colors to use for "skin tone". Skin can be any color depending on the light(s)

Just screenshot the video, cut and paste the portion top left with the paint colors, and eyedrop them from there in your project

Sorry about that. We hope it didn't spoil your enjoyment too much!

+Atomhawk Design Don't worry about it. It's not at all distracting. Please bring us more video like this, they are fantastic! :)

It is distracting to me, as a casual viewer who is only interested in the color theory.

Rotionpotion be grateful you have a video of full color painting by a great artist, for free.

I am grateful, but I also have my own opinions, eff off.

Katie Roy thank you
