This one is about underpaintings for skin colours. I often see beginners pick a reddish ultra-saturated pink colour and go with it - that's not the way to satisfyingly real results. And let me say: Use reference. Really.

"Ranarh's tiny tips" is a collection of iddy-biddy tutorials, each containing small bites of advice anyone can chew, aimed at beginner's level artists. They are not software-dependent. If there's a problem you have, something you feel someone should finally explain, or are just curious what I have to say on a particular artistic issue, feel free to tell me.

Please tell me if this was useful to you.

Oohh this reminds me of the different colour make-up bases you buy for the skin... It makes so much sense now! Sorry, such a prissy thing to say. :XD:
This is incredibly useful to me right now! Thank you so much! Haha

Oh, and do you think mixing these colours with other skin tone type colours could work? Or lighter versions like the aforementioned make-up bases?
