  • For many artists, painting skin is one of their BIGGEST challenges! And after SO MANY requests... I'm giving you my secrets!
    Whether you're drawing pretty girls on instagram or buff superheroes, we've all got skin, so sooner or later artists will need to learn how they can best draw and render skin. In this tutorial I demonstrate how to render and shade skin in photoshop BUT this technique works on ALL digital art programs. It even works for traditional artists! (just with a few extra steps)
    I walk you through shading skin and how to handle the values of skin in this video. The NEXT video is all about the many ways you can color skin (link below).

    I have SUCH a problem with overblending in the most unattractive way. I grasp how to shade, it's just actually applying it that is holding me back lol. I have a big problem with thinking harsh lines = less desirable/less realistic so I soften everything up and it ends up looking very /muddy/ so to speak
    seeing someone successfully use the technique with such ease actually helped a lot, thank you a ton for making this video. Sometimes all we need is a visual to push us along

      Tfw you apply everything this guy says and it still looks like shit. It's so relatable.

    *i wish I had this tutorial before*
    I tend to simplify since.. Ye I dont do that much anatomy musculature so my shading and lighting are very simple-
    But watching this... *might give me a different idea*

    • @Gammatrap
      @Gammatrap  3 роки тому +1

      Simplifying things are a great way to lean into different styles (but it would be good to practice anatomy, obviously) so don't worry about all that. And thank you, I'm very glad to hear the tutorial was helpful!

      Just trust in the soft brush, blend them as smooth as you can, then shrink the brush to cut the detail lines for folds and muscle 😁 you got this!

    Howa bout the secret to actually focusing, i can't. I draw something and its decent and I like the idea but then I loose interest in the subject and start over

    • @Gammatrap
      @Gammatrap  3 роки тому +1

      Oh that's actually an easier "secret" Don't worry about focusing AND don't set yourself up to NEED to focus. Don't start big projects or stories, or comics or stuff like that. Give yourself permission to just draw what you want for a bit. Put on some music or audiobook or something to let your mind wander and just day-dream while you draw. If you're having fun with a game and want to draw a character for fun, do that. If you're watching a show or a content creator and want to try drawing them, do that. It's fine to just follow the random ideas. And if they don't go very far, oh well :) move to the next.

      The airbrush section should have everything you need for smooth skin. Just find the hardest edge and softest edge brushes and you should be set
