it’s so rare to find portraits of dark skin 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@iAmNothingness]

it's even harder to find good tutorials on how to paint african skin tones... specialy digitaly. i'm trying to draw storm from xmen and i want her to be the real african beauty that she is Q_Q

[@chechnyabest]

Daria callie makes some great ones

[@SereneTing]

@@iAmNothingness Fact! And the beautiful melanin that she captured is insane!

[@DarrylBarnes]

Sure if you're touring European museums

[@DarrylBarnes]

@@iAmNothingness these comments tickle me mixing dark skin is the same as mixing light skin you just go the other direction in tonal value Ie: there's no need for a burnt umber

[@BlackySpeakz]

you are insane with the pen, wow ✍🏾

BlackySpeakz 🥺 Aww thank you so much lovely! ❤️

I have a video on how I do it on my Patreon account. But it’s basically transferred from my iPad to my canvas using the graphite transfer technique.

[@Anyelle1]

@@EllieMandyArt I bet! Oh my goodness though, I would have loved to buy this.

[@wendellwiggins3776]

NICE but I can't start a painting like this and as a paint by numbers. I have to work on the entire darks and lights tones at once and develop the overall tones and then go into detailing sections so to develop everything evenly. Whereby at any stage the painting looks fully cohesive. Sorry this technique is frustrating for me

[@EllieMandyArt]

Oh my goodness! I am so sorry Wendy! I know my technique and style of painting is not for everyone. Whichever way you feel like you can execute a painting to the best of your ability, do it that way, there is no right or wrong way. I will actually try to incorporate your painting technique next time to better learn different techniques myself! Thank you so much! And I really appreciate your feedback! ❤️

[@wendellwiggins3776]

@@EllieMandyArt no worries! it's my issue. your technique is beautiful and fine. My best friend paints like this and we laugh bc I have to build everything equally. I think its my training and love of impressionism that developed my way
