[Lesson 11] Dark Skin Tone
Are you more comfortable painting skin tones now?
Remember, practicing and exploring will make you improve and master your new skills.
So, here’s another lesson to help you with skin tones!
Before Starting
To have a perfect learning-practice day, make sure you are ready:
- Gather all your materials, and set them in your favorite place to work with watercolors. Check out the materials list for this lesson below the video.
- Sketch a face before you click play. In the video, I show how to paint the skin tone, so you have to have a sketch of a face ready to use in the watercolor paper you will use. If you need help with drawing faces, check my other course (and workbook) Fashion Drawing Basics 😉 – And, the more sketches you have to practice with this skin tone, the better!
- Put your favorite music, and now you’re ready!
Let’s go!
Dark Skin Tone
Materials:
Watercolor paper: I used 180grs/m2

Show off your faces!

TODAY’S ASSIGNMENT
- Read and watch the lesson.
- Grab your materials.
- Sketch a face at least twice – the face I’m painting is looking down so I don’t have to paint the eyes – because that’s from another lesson 😉
- Stretch your paper.
- And practice recreating the skin tone I showed you today 🙂
