[@k1ller_queen837]

Hey! I tried downloading your brushes but couldn’t because i never received an email containing the brushes. Any solution to it? Please help

[@Suma-xp3zr]

Yes

[@nicokomi]

Danke❤

[@deeIee11]

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.

[@LucasPeinador]

Very welcome Daniel!

DUDE! WHERE! HAVE! YOU! BEEN!!!!!! ??????

[@Eli-gt7wz]

@Ezequiel G yeah i stg

[@youtubechannel12371]

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!!

[@LucasPeinador]

Very happy that the video helped man. All the good luck with digital painting!!

[@thetwelfthhourartist5980]

Ikrrrr!! This is what i needed.

[@savannah5731]

What app/software do u use? I use Autodesk Sketchbook

[@youtubechannel12371]

@@savannah5731 Sorry for the late reply! I have been jumping between Sketchbook, Adobe Fresco and Procreate. They each seem to have their own pros/cons. Sketchbook for product sketches, Fresco for realistic paint and vector work. Procreate for everything else. I think I prefer Procreate the most; it feels most intuitive with the iPad, but it doesn't have some disappointing limitations like lack of vector and artboard boundary restrictions ✌️

[@yesofastora3572]

still failing for me, i just cant get it right.

[@LucasPeinador]

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

[@KiraArts]

Lucas Peinador GOOD! What about u Lucas?

[@nana_dolo]

YOU'RE BACK.. legit thought you were snapped by Thanos.. How you dealing with 2020's mess?

[@mizuruitheworld]

Good u?

[@timiafuji9525]

Miss so much

[@TheTwistedPixel]

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

[@LucasPeinador]

that is fantastic to hear, thank you so much!

[@kyandengy4660]

This. Video. Was. Frickin. Beautiful.

[@LucasPeinador]

Thank you!!! 🙏 glad you enjoyed it!

[@midorip.9396]

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

[@LucasPeinador]

That is really nice to hear. Glad that it useful 😉

[@RMAnimations]

I just watched a KZbin 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.

[@bluemazestudio9645]

the theory of using cool shadows is not based on comparing warm vs cool but because thge flesh is naturally warm and the skin without natural light becomes dull which means you mix a complimentary which is usually a cool color. Painters exagerate the cool color to interact with a warm color which enhances it. It is a suggestion, yet it's a suggestion that makes alot of sense. It will also stop your portraits from looking monochromatic.

[@LucasPeinador]

Interesting!

[@caledonianamerican41]

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

[@LucasPeinador]

Great, thank you for sharing

[@raphaelmorgan2307]

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

[@LucasPeinador]

Thank you Raphael, super glad that you got to take advantage of the video :)

[@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!

[@bubble2318]

This is the by far the best explanation and tutorial on colouring skin. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@LucasPeinador]

Glad it was helpful!

[@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

[@LucasPeinador]

I'm very happy to hear that, thank you for taking the time to tell me :)

[@g4uzy]

yes!! coloring traditionally is so much easier than coloring digitally for me

[@lixiaoyue3078]

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!

[@ctbypwrlftr7409]

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.

[@LucasPeinador]

Thank you very much for your comment. Glad that it was useful.

[@brandonchacon7745]

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

[@LucasPeinador]

Hey Brandon :) You are very welcome, I tried to put everything I knew about skin in one single video

[@mizuruitheworld]

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

[@LucasPeinador]

Hey Lidia 😊. Glad it helped. Thanks for leaving me a comment

[@mizuruitheworld]

Lucas Peinador omg I never got a reply from a yter on my comment thank you

[@niluseneviratne3709]

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!!!

[@Yzy599]

I have watched literally dozens of videos about skin coloring and this video so far is one of the best. He actually gets straight to point towards the important, most valuable information

[@zraiarz9301]

C curve saturation for shading. It is that alone that answer more for me than even the best color theory videos I have seen so far. So many explain it in a way that just doesn't click but this filled in the gaps of my amateur coloring

[@LucasPeinador]

Awesome, happy to hear that

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!

[@kat8559]

in the sorolla piece at 18:45 is a perfect example of your point that shadows are the result of the color of the fill light. The shadow of her elbow is blue like the sky but the shadow of her umbrella is green like the grass
