EASY...Drawing Dark Skin-Tone! Colored Pencil Realistic Portrait Drawing Tutorial!

@bmdportraits HOW to Color & Blend DARK Skin? Colored Pencil Realistic Portrait Drawing Tutorial!
Welcome to another realistic portrait drawing tutorial using colored pencils (Faber Castell Polychromos and Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils). But in this particular drawing tutorial, I invented a versatile method that can be a base process for every types of black or dark skin-tones. This is focused on layering and blending colored pencils with specific tools and colors to be used together to create realistic dark skins using colored pencils. I hope this drawing tutorial can reach more viewers, young artists, art enthusiasts, beginners and everyone who wants valuable information regarding skin tones using colored pencils. This tutorial video is recorded using English language to cater to more viewers all over the world.

I love how colorful you made the skin. Few artist know how to make brown skin colorful. You should try dark purples and blues for base shadows as well.

[@BMDPortraits]

I will try it.....Thanks!

EXCELLENT job! I normally roll my eyes with most dark skintone tutorials, but this is perfectly done. It's hilarious that you called light skintones regular. Richly melanated skintones are truly exceptional.

[@hmicjm07]

love the pallete im going to try it today i think

[@BMDPortraits]

Wow thanks! enjoy!

[@creativesolutionsart-h3o]

With each color, are you just adding it to the edge of the previous color and then working it toward the lightest point/highest points of the skin? And then you are going over the entire thing with the colorless blender? Your work is so beautiful and so seamless, I can’t believe how realistic it looks! I’m not sure if you are just overlapping or if you were going over the entire thing with each color

[@BMDPortraits]

Thanks.....i actually layer all over the surface

[@jacintahunt9888]

Thanks!

[@Blackavian]

In the US we pronounce it SEE-pee-ah. That doesn’t mean our pronunciation is correct for the rest of the world. If you are more comfortable with SEP-ee-ah, then that works too. It’s our responsibility to translate the accent in our heads.

[@BMDPortraits]

Thank 4 the Info!

[@LeslieTheCaliforniaJewel]

PERFECTLY stated.☺️

[@reinellafoueppe6383]

Thanks that helps because I pronounce it like that too

[@melissakelley9758]

I've just learned, as an American, I do not pronounce sepia the way Americans pronounce it. 😂❤

[@Blackavian]

@@melissakelley9758 That's the way it is pronounced in the western US. Or the way I pronounce it anyway. As a native Arizonan, I'm as western as you can get. Just to be sure, I looked up the pronunciation using Google because I have been wrong about (oh so many) things before. As in the rest of the world, I would not presume to declare the midwestern and eastern US would pronounce it that way. I'm pretty sure they pronounce it differently in the southern US. I think you should pronounce it the way you want. As long as you know what you are saying, that's what counts. 😊

Construir o conhecimento e torna-lo uma habilidade é necessário um grau de profissionalismo ,e ter tempo.Obrigado por dedicar este tempo para o nosso aprendizado!!

[@BMDPortraits]

Thanks

[@Redmeddle84]

I am in america and i and many others i know say it Seh-pia

[@cilla4000]

Beautiful work ❤. What do you do with your work? You should sell it

[@BMDPortraits]

Just keep them, part of a huge collection....Im not yet sure if i wanna sell them

[@grlRex]

Thank you so much❣️ This is exactly where I’m at right now and had come to a full pause not wanting to ruin my piece with a “flat” rendering & aspect. -Oh 😮and btw: it’s “see-pee-ah” so “seepeeya” hen pronounced altogether 😊

[@BMDPortraits]

Thank u!

[@HenriqueSouza-qy7iz]

What are the bars in the background for?

[@elisadinsmore231]

With white skin tones, we lean towards red, green and yellow undertones. With black skin tones, they tend to have red or blue undertones. Undertones varies person to person no matter what your skin tone.

[@musictoliveby08]

Some of us have very yellow base tones as well. Not all dark skin tones have red and purple bases. I would like to see this artist show an example like that too. Think Regina King, Queen Latifah, or Tiffany Haddish. This is my first view here so if already done, thanks. Gorgeous drawing! ❤

[@Mangaka2K15]

Dark skin tones, not “black skin tones”There are people with dark skin who are not “black”. 😅

[@IamHeavenian-CitizenofHeaven]

🎉

[@jaarondavis9895]

What paper could it be done on?

[@BMDPortraits]

Strathmore Bristol papers

[@SushieSash]

Where I live in Canada we say "SEHP-PEE-YUH"

[@RalphyDraws-x7t]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! CHELSEA!

[@cri1625]

Sepia is a brown color. Dark sepia is just a darker brown it's NOT black at all.

[@theunwantedcritic]

Well, you’re good at telling what color pencils to use but exactly how to use them is kind of a mystery. I guess I have to slow down the video and watch it a couple of times.

[@delmontegreenbeans]

She's bad as hell?

[@sharafmisha4675]

Perfect job Real art

[@BMDPortraits]

Thanks u !!!!
