This is the first part of a big skintone painting tutorial I did last year. (it just wasn't until now that I found the time to assemble everything and finish it) :)
Please note that this is just "my" way to learn/paint/observe, and I can't guarantee that it'll make things "click" for everybody; I'm not a teacher after all and still have SO much to learn!
However, I'll be glad if it is helpful to anybody; and if you have questions, just let me know and I'll try my best to answer them.

The whole tutorial is going to consist of about 3 to 4 parts, depending how much text and images I can squeeze into one file without making it too heavy. XD

Since I'm a firm believer in learning-by-doing, I've come up with a practical exercise in each of these tutorial parts. To learn how to paint, there's no other way than actually doing it.

By the way, I put this in the "Photoshop" category since I used Photoshop here (with a Wacom Intuos tablet), but ANY painting program (Gimp, Painter, SAI, Opencanvas) can be used; since this isn't a software-specific tutorial - it's just about painting skintones!

Have fun, and thank you for reading! :D

Thank you for this great tutorial!
:+fav:ing it for keeps! ^_^

I tried the colour palette for "pale skin" (number four), but as I was using watercolour pencils, I could only match three colours (magenta, pink, brown).

The black-and-white reference I used: [link]

I actually think this is instructive :3 I really have problems when it comes to colours, I can't choose the right ones to get a skin tone beacuse I just don't know how to combine them. I will read the other tutorials :3 Thank you.
