5- Skin; Today we will be working on a major part of the drawing: the skin. You will need the previous color palette from part 4. The first thing you need to do is make sure your outline layer is the top layer. After that is done, make 2 new layers titled "Face" and Neck." This is the order your layers should be in. open the sketch tool and make the brush size larger. Right click on your base color and use the sketch tool to fill in your outline where the skin should be. Switch over to the "Chemy" tool and press the "Lock Alpha checkbox. Click the little line icon. This will give you freedom to scribble and completely stay in the lines without having to be careful. Block in your shadows using varying deeper shades. Use a variety of shadow colors with a range of value. Gradually getting darker as you go. If more explanation is needed, please feel free to ask in the comments. When you are finished adding shadows, switch over to the "Blend" tool and drag the opacity and size way down, and the blending up to 100%. Blend out your shadows into your base color. Once blended out, if more shading is needed, just add more with the chemy tool and blend out once again. Repeat until satisfied. Switch to the neck layer and repeat. If you are confused, questions are welcome. Finally, switch back to the chemy tool and choose one of your lighter colors and add highlights at the highest points of the face. Blend once more, and you are finished. | image tagged in purple's art series | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
