I have literally been trying to paint skin all week and NONE of them looked “right.” I just couldn’t put my finger on why. This shit right here is what I was missing, so THANK YOU.

I’m just getting into digital art and colors have always been a mystery to me. This video is so awesome at allowing me to wrap my head around things that felt so complex. Thanks for making this!!

An entire semester on color theory in 26 minutes! Thank you somuchi! I agree with everyone about this being the best skintone tutorial on YouTube.

[LucasPeinador]

Hey guys! Welcome back to the channel, it has been a while! 😄 how have you been?

As a Blender modeler, I very much approve of this video and the explanation of subsurface. The material that best represents subsurface scattering is probably wax, hence why places like Madam Tussaud's uses wax for their celebrities

[GameAgentET]

I have heard of sub-surface scattering and refracted light before, but it made my head hurt when I saw explanations of it and why they were important for artists. With this video, I was able to understand those factors a lot more clearly, and how to use them in the future when I add color to my digital and painted works. I even learned a lot of new things, like specularity. I’m really glad I came across this video! Good job and thank you, Lucas!

You’re THE ONLY PERSON who I actually learn from, other art channels went WAY too fast or gave vague explanations and instructions. I’m actually here taking notes :3

[RMAnimations]

I just watched a YouTube video where they said just extract a color pallette from a photo, but you went hella in depth on this going scientific with it. You even broke a misconception I had about cool shadows/warm light that was hindering my ability to select the right colors. Thank you so much! I feel a lot more comfortable selecting colors and being creative with them instead of feeling restricted.

Thanks! I started doing a fan art but I struggled with the skin a bit, this helped a lot!

[retroTiko]

starting with digital art and somehow i struggle so much more with the colors than i ever have with watercolor. this is super helpful

[meghnasingh]

I learned so much more in the video than any any paid curriculum. 😭 Tysm for making this video and sharing the basics in such an easy way to understand 🌼🥺

[ctbypwrlftr]

I know this is a year old but I just gotta say, you are a lifesaver. Every other tutorial on skin is way too vague and simple for my tendency to want to break things down into components. They don’t provide the easily, widely applicable structure that this does. Again, thank you so, so much for this.

[lixiaoyue]

I basically wanted to design a cover for my book. I was feeling so frustrated about it until I saw this video. Because I only know to do monochrome art. I've never colored. Now I'm really enlightened. When I taught myself art, I observed every object around me in light and shade. But I would have never broken away my fear to paint in color and would have never got the idea unless I saw this video. Thank you again!

[iamluyu]

Omggg ive been looking for this type of tutorial for a lifetime and could never find one. But yours is a MASTERPIECE!! It includes everything possible, with all the variations that a skin (+it's environment) could have... and that help us so so much!!! Muchísimas gracias Lucas!!!

[raphaelmorgan]

I really appreciate that you included all sorts of different skin colors and even took the time to explain the difference between darker and lighter skin tones! It's a refreshing change of pace from things like "How to paint hair!" and it's only straight/slightly wavy hair, etc

[brandonchacon]

Probably the most concise video I've seen on skin. Thank you for breaking it down like this

[hoshichunsa]

Thank you so much this is the most direct, helpful and to the point skin tone video that I have ever watched thank you for making the video ✨

[ohnoherewegoagain]

I have been doing digital paintings for a month. I already had some background knowledge but this really helped me learn alot. Thank youuu

[dear_totheheart]

You broke this down so well and provided such fantastic explanations on how the light and shadows are actually effecting each other. I’m more amazed with how you carefully and slowly showed us your process of applying this theory instead of just speeding through it. Great work!

[ephie_barrow]

Yay your back! Don’t need this tutorial right now because I’m working on my drawing right now but it will definitely be useful in the future! Can wait for more videos to come!!!
