Description "Hair can say a lot about a person, you know?"

One of my favorite characters to draw, Maria: Goddess of Love and.. halftime party planner This woman literally appears in more than half of my novels, given that she's the eldest goddess in Haura. Despite the fact that she's over thousands of years old, she refuses to hide herself away, even though she's immortal. And so she's often been dubbed "The Master Illusionist" because she can wear so many disguises. She changes them quite often because of her immortality... And not just hair styles! Oh no, she can really use illusions quite well..

So really. If you go to her to plan your birthday and order a cake...? It really is a lie

Whenever I want to update my colored pencil skills and try to take my skills to a higher level I just go through your gallery to study your tegnique
I thought it would be nice to let you know this

My-Anne In reply to Tajii-chan [2012-07-17 09:47:54 +0000 UTC]

Well, maybe there is something
You're skilled with coloured pencils and thats also my trade so maybe you can help me out

When shading skin, I always use orange-pink-ish pencil for the base of the skin and darker tones for shading. But sometimes you wanna play with light a little to make it darker or lighter so what can I do to change that a little? For example, when it's dark, you don't colour the whole skin totally orange. I already tried to do some blue and purple colours but it ended up drawing a corpse Here's an example: [link]

When you take a look into my gallery you'll see that my coloring is pretty much the same in every drawing. Bright and vibrant colours but no real lightsource and actual shading. I've been looking for tutorials but I haven't found anything really helpfull yet, and I really wanna take my colouring skills to a higher level.
You think you can help me out?

Tajii-chan In reply to My-Anne [2012-07-17 10:20:58 +0000 UTC]

I'd be happy to help!

1) You actually have the right idea, here I always start off with a base skin tone. If a character is 'lighter skinned' then I always use the same peach tone for the base. From there though, I start adding in different colors depending on how tan they are. Say you want to draw a tanner person.. you start shading with browns. If you want a peachy looking tone, then add in some subtle pinks and oranges-- and that means adding them in wherever there are shadows. Also, if the skin is darker I use darker shades of brown. If it's lighter, I do lighter tones. So really, I always alternate between using these colors for skin: Peach (It's usually almost always my base), pink, red, yellow, orange, brown and occassionally, if the person has darker skin and I want to define the area beneath their chin or under their hair, I lightly shade with black. The trick is to ALWAYS start light Then, when you've gotten the base tone down, start shading lightly with different colors.

As far as using blues and purples, those are actually a fitting contrast for skin tones. They are however, very difficult to blend in. The last time I shaded with blue was here: [link] I usually use it as a fade out effect, so it's a bit darker. I also only use blues in areas that really need to be defined. So basically I use it to very very lightly make things stand out. Maybe hair, underneath the chin, etc. If you're using a lot of one color in a drawing, it's also nice to see a bit of that color into the skin as well.. but only if you can pull it off For instance if you have a brown background... incorporating more browns into the skins instantly reflects the background. It gives it a nice balanced effect.

As far as lightsource, I haven't even looked for any real tutorials myself. I learned a few things in art class though. What I always do is draw my light source on the paper-- at least to start with. Is it coming from the left, the right? Upwards? Downwards? Depending on where it's coming from, there will be more shadows on one side of the drawing. For instance, if the light source is on the left, then the light will be hitting the character's face from the left. The cheek there will be lighter, while the shadow cast from the nose will on the right side.. The best way to understand light source is to basically just look at the light around you Once you figure out how light naturally falls, you'll get the hang of it in your drawing

Woooww you just gave me the largest comment I've ever got

Thank you for helping me out Some of the things you told me confirm what I'm already doing and some of the things are really helpful I'll just go practise some more and see how far I get Right now I have summer vacation but since we have a lousy summer with lots of rain, I'll have a nice oppurtunity to draw
