Description
Some time ago, I launched a beginner-friendly class on how to draw human skin using colored pencils, titledSkin Tones in Colored Pencil: Introduction to Colored Portrait Drawing. Now that we've covered the basics and learned how to approach this subject with confidence, it's time to take things a step further and elevate the quality of our drawings!
Skin Texture with Colored Pencil is designed for those who already draw portraits and want to refine their skills even more. The goal here is to study using reference images that showcase a variety of skin tones and textures.
In this class, you will learn how to:
Balance colors for different skin tones;
Approach skin with a range of textures and ages;
Work with both texture and volume simultaneously;
Use colored pencils from different brands, if you have them available.
If you enjoy drawing portraits, don't miss the opportunity to join this class-and let's draw!
Project Instructions
In this class, we'll complete five drawings. The first four will focus on different skin tones and textures
Fair skin;
Dark skin;
Freckles;
Wrinkles.
Finally, the fifth and last exercise is a drawing of a nose. I chose this subject because it gives us the perfect opportunity to work on skin tones, texture, and volume all at once.
Have fun!
