HOW I PAINT SKIN TONES 

ah yes, the 4 skin tones. Pale, olive, brown, f u c k i n g b l u e

*I actually learned most of the things i know about shading faces from makeup tutorials*

Nice! When I paint skin, I like to put yellow over the forehead, red on the cheeks, and blue on the chin. I then put it on about 10% opacity. It adds more tones and makes things slightly more realistic

Isn't it amazing how the same picture can turn out looking so different after colouring?

This was incredibly helpful. Especially for the blue skin. I think I always shade with cooler colors, but I think warmer colors make more sense! Thank you for making this.

could you do a video on proportions / anatomy ?

Awesome!

Sara, it is fine. You don't need to apologize for not uploading last week. Look, I am fine. I didn't die or get sick. You are in college, it is your biggest priority(after your health) So, it is FINE :)

I love how you show the reflectiveness of dark skin

You said "sunburn" while painting a ginger! **sunburn flashback memories**

I watch makeup tutorials for the same reasons too!! Makeup is really good for understanding facial structures and it has really helped me a lot on how the face is formed. Great video!! Can't wait to see more 😊😊😊

It doesn't matter that you didn't uploaded a video last week and please don't apologise for that. ♡ Love your video greetings from the Netherlands!

You dont need to feel bad if you didnt post last week, this is YOUR channel, u can do whatever u want

Awesome video thanks for this cool information and tips....... It really helps me..... But why you use... Blue color to last girl? Is that girl is from avatar movie..?

This is great but another thing, that I personally do, is make paler skin tones less saturated, as they are typically have less melanin, therefore giving them less color in general. And then the darker the skin tone, I make it more saturated (unless the undertones are blue).

i'm not sure if i get it, it's not the video it's me :( for me i don't see myself learning to paint skin or anything for that matter, it's just so damn hard, i can draw very well but painting have always been a big let down for me, it's literally made me stop from drawing anything

How does she set the program so it only colours the outlines and not everything else at the start of the video?

Thanksfor teaching how to draw dark skin because ppl only teach u how to colour light skin

That was kinda racist when you said that the skin will turn out look dark and ugly....

can you stop saying “disgusting” in that way it makes me (as a novice artist) feel so disgusting for not doing it that way

Can you please do a part to the painting process was going so fast there's only so much I understood and that was troublesome on my part because I was trying hard to get your paint process down while trying to find my on painting style

really cool video Sara, thks ^^

Woah but how did you lock the opacity to change the lines from black to brown?

wow this video was sooooo helpful like I never knew this about highlighting and stuff thanks

My issues is brushes. I'm new to painting in photoshop and I can't paint things without things looking blocky, and I'm just so confused by the whole thing and how to actually paint digitally. All these tutorials seem to have great advice for the subject but have no explanations of how to use certain brushes or how to even GET those brushes. I can't seem to find a proper brush that works for me and I'm so overwhelmed by all these tutorials that don't really help

2:15 excuse me what.

How do you lock the transparency and only colour the line art in Krita? I've been using it and I'm lost! Show me the way Senpai or anyone else in the comments! I never figure out how to just colour the lines! I think I did it once but I forgot how :( Please help!

Wow this is great! Skintones are always my biggest weakness when painting

I had no idea you had all these tutorial videos and I'm loving it! You're super inspirational thanksgiving!

Omg, this video has been a godsend 😍 I was just complaining about my inability to blend and make skin tones and that I would love to watch a speedpaint about it. Thank you, thank you! 💙 Keep it up with the fantastic work! Greetings from Honduras!

Getting quite nostalgic when seeing people still using windows 7 :D

Great video! When you were talking about making the lighter parts more warm and the shadows more cool. thats because the warm colors pop out more. And the cool colors recede back. just a fun little fact.

FYI sunlight is pure white. Incandescent lights are bluer and more harsh, whereas flourescent lights are warm and soft.

this is amazing!! I never learned how to shade any other skin tones than my own so I only drew really pale people. tysm!

BRO SHE DID IT ALL IN ONE LAYER???

Excellent artwork with such brilliant details and designed. Hope you have a wonderful day.

Hey, Sara, what brush did you use for sketching ?

Wow girl you are so talented you can paint with watercolors, oil and you can also paint digitaly!!

YESSSSS!!!!! I have been waiting the longest for this now my art gone be like yo what's up my dude I was created by masa and ima be like yo dis my art check it out

Hello. I'm just approaching the painting. Cause I've always drawn but never coloured. But I don't understand which brush should I use to do something like this. Do you use a krita brush, or have you made a custom brush? And, if it is a custom brush, how can I make one similar too? Can someone help, please, I wanna learn to paint D:

I remember when I used only peach and black lol. I would pour black ALL over the beige.

Thank you Sara!!! I was thinking to grey scale it first then colour

i did everything you did up to 2:16 where you started painting the skintone but mine didn't show the color as clearly as yours did. It was as if the transparency was very low. Please help me.

The frist tip just change all my draw Thx!

Are you using the soft airbrush for the skin? The soft airbrush comes out suuuper faded for me so I just wanted to double-check

aliens would be confused if they would stumble upon this video "why the fuck is that human blue? and why dont we know anything about blue humans"

This is so amazing. I have no idea how to paint AT ALL i just use colors i see without actually it being the right one. Now i managed to paint skintone i like thanks to you! I subscribed. Please keep being awesome and making videos hehe lots of ♡

Very very helpful.. thank you so much 😊💕

Your voice is so soft and you speak really fucking fast, really hard to hear what you’re saying

Can you tell me what kind of brushes that you used? is that something like copic?, i tried but mine still a mess🥲

Can you guys help with what kind of brush she is using... Really good video btw

"Super super dark and gross." I wasn't expecting it but there it is.

which brush did you used? ps. amzing tutorial.

Wow this inspires me to do better on my art videos on my channel. 😊

I use procreate and I have a problem with getting the right brush like the one you used in this video l need some help lol anyone know the problem

Hi Sara, thanks for uploading. Is that Painter or PS you're using with a wacom? And what brushes are you using.

Hiiiii I really hope that you or somebody notice this and answer me because i'm STRUGGLING with this problem in Krita.my black is green!i choose BLACK in color selector but it draws green! i don't know what to do please help me!

It would be really helpful if you could make a video about how to use layers!!

This helped me so much for my final project, Tysm!

Thank you so much for uploading this! You explain things so nicely (is that even word? 😂)! Usually I do a lot of cell shading in my art works and the few "realistic" portraits I've done so far were in black and white, so I struggle a lot with skin tones. I want to be able to paint semi-realistically too, not just in my usual cartoony/ comic kind of style, so this tutorial is perfect for some future studies!

You've completely evolved the way I paint. I'm so glad I discovered this channel...

Love it! This was helpful to see the different undertones you chose for each of the skin tones. I keep meaning to try digital painting, but I feel so intimidated by it ;^; I've done some very simple cartoon-y drawings, but I've never tried to layer colors to achieve a semi-realistic or realistic style. Thank you for showing your process! :)

make up tutorials are how I realized i could paint

u sound like dove Cameron

Very helpful, thank you very much! ❤️

What brush do you use for coloring skin?

You are not using photoshop in this video aren't you?

Don't feel bad about not posting a video last week. We know you're in college and are pretty busy, and things go wrong sometimes. While it'd be cool if you posted a bonus video, don't feel obliged to do that.

1:21 how do you do that? Also is it possible to use this function in Android apps?

how did you get the advance color selector???

Which program are you using to draw?

what is the name of the app you use for your art? I wanna try it ehheehe

Thanks for the tips Sara, really helpful!

This is so beautiful and satisfying. Thank you for sharing your skills.

очень красивый рисунок, говорю как художник художнику ))) very beautiful drawing, I speak as an artist to an artist)

bruh windows 7 also this tutorial is nice

Love this! So helpful and inspirational, whenever I watch your videos I have the sudden urge to draw! 💓

great tutorial, really spot on theory as well! I always like to think of skin colour as operating on a spectrum of 'brown to creme/whisper' vs 'red to yellow' (much as you described it) as I find it gives the most realistic and nuanced skin tones -- I believe I read somewhere it is meant to be scientifically accurate to the real world, though I can't remember where I read it -- thought your point about sticking to the redder tones when working lighter was really interesting and will have to test that for myself! :D Also the thing you spoke about adding warmth to highlights and coolness to shadows is referred to as 'analogous shading' (though you probably already knew that) and is supposed to reflect how light works under sunlight in the real world, because as you mentioned the sun is warm in it's hue (and just generally warm) which is probably why it yields a very appealing result when used in art; it really bothers me when art tutorials only mention monochromatic shading especially when you can see that the artist makes use of warm and cold in their shading... I find that for cool lighting it gives a really nice result if you flip the script and make highlights cold and shadows warm :D Anyways great video, bit of a long comment; brevity was never my strong suit. Stay Awesome! :D

I'm early!! Excited to watch :)

thank you, you have another suscriber here

Wow. That's some unusual technique. Gotta try this. Thank you very much!

Your taste is so amazing. Love the style. Please never stop.

i should start drawing darker skintones

If you can answer my question, please do. How did she color the lineart by itself?

Is the skillshare link still working?

This was so helpful! Thank you!

I need a software like this! I've gotten into basic art and want to get better by trying more. I'd love to know a software like this!

Question : what laptop/computer are you using? Specs are also vital in a smooth working art space

You're a great artist, but you literally just adjusted the curves on your dark-skinned character to make her skin lighter instead of adjusting the highlight and shadow colors to match the skin tone you started with... you also mentioned in the video that if you add a contrasting highlight color too early in the painting, you tend to lighten up the image to balance it out, sooo is that what just happened?

how I paint skin tones AND hair

What app is this pls tell me ... somene plss

Hey! Probably a little bit off topic but, what program do you use to edit your videos? Thank you! Love your channel!

Which brush were you using?

I want to like it hundred times

I'm probably heat not seeing this, but how did you change the color of your lineart? I hear got a tablet so I'm trying to paint along but (naturally) the whole concept keeps tripping me up xD

I'd try to stay away from pressure opacity when painting

Can I ask what brush you are using? NIce art btws! Thanks for uploading! ^^

Hey friend, it doesn't sound silly to use beauty channels for guidance. I think that's a really inspired idea. Thank you for your advice!

What brush/ type of brush was she using to paint the skin? I really like it but can’t find a brush with the similar style (eg acrylic, watercolour, pen, pencil etc)

I’m pretty sure you have the same last name as Vlad the Impaler ...nice video by the way!
