Now compare 3 and 5: you’ll notice that 3 is very bright and leans towards orange hues, whereas 5 has a pinkish tint. if you’re not sure where to begin it might help if you first determine the values (brightness) of the base colours in grayscale.Īnd here are a few colour variations-i stuck to the approximate values but played around with a lot of different hues and levels of saturation.

so when i pick the base colours i usually start with the skin and adjust the rest of the colours accordingly. You’ll mostly be navigating in the red to yellow spectrum for the skin tone. Now first things first: which skin colour does the character have? Rule of thumb: when you shade don’t just add black (or white) to your base colours, that will make your drawings boring and lifeless. Here’s a quick rundown of terms you’ll see around a lot in reference to colours and shading: the hue, which is the ‘colour’ itself, the saturation aka the intensity, and the brightness which describes how dark or bright we perceive a colour to be. context is key! but still, remember that all of this is about how i perceive colour, so you might not agree with everything i say. We all perceive colour differently (thx science) and i trust my intuition a lot when it comes to colour picking because of that, and also because i feel like you can make pretty much every colour combination work within the right context. Now onto your question! (if you don’t know what layer and layer modes are and how they generally work you should probably google that before you continue reading) SenshiStock’s gallery consists of millions of pictures that are free to use as reference.Īhh thank you so much! ♥ welcome to the digial art scene friend, i hope you enjoy your stay and ctrl + z
