🌷 how to mix skin tones with gouache / painting process
Вставка

- hello friends ✨
happy 2021 everyone 🤍 I hope you had a wonderful holiday. I received several questions on how I mix anime skin tones for my studio ghibli gouache paintings. today I'm gonna show you a quick snippet of my paint mixing process for skin tones and shades of nudes using gouache. I'm not the best at explaining, neither is this the 'correct' way to mix colours because I mostly go with the flow :) then again, there is no right or wrong way to paint. either way, I hope this video helps you start with mixing skin colours.
I hope you enjoyed panting with me. Leave a like and a comment down below if you liked the video and as always thank you so much for watching ♥️
Lots of love,
Celyn

I love that our skintone is made with so many different colours.

@@kkxingxing you’re welcome! xx
Thank you ❤️👍
Thank you
Thank you so much 😊
Bruhh.. Why does paints look so appetising and looks like forbidden icing😭
Bro what 💀
As somone who has these paints i wnat to eat them every day
I felt this 🤧
u good?
for me i feel like it look like forbidden foundation 😭 i would be so tempted to use it as makeup
They look like people standing there with their little heads and bodies. Idk if that was intentional but it's very cute
All standing in unity . This perspective gave me happiness ❤️
Ahh so wholesome
i didn't notice i was making skintones this whole time when i was mixing ketchup mustard and mayo
lol
LMAO 😆
Lol XD
And peanut butter 💀
This is very beneficial to mee since my gouache is coming hihi
Lmao
I was looking at your comment and then the postman just came to my house with my gouache !! >.~
@@xungkookk omg happy painting
@@Yokaze9009 it really depends on where you're buying it
Soo how are they???
I've been searching this on Google for somany times and wanted a detailed tutorial on this🥺 never thought you would post this 🥺♥️♥️thank you so much ❤️❤️🌈
Just by watching this makes me miss painting so much, can't really paint or draw these days 😓
I hope you can start doing the art you desire. Think positive and manifest. Trust me you will be able to start doing what you wants soon.#111
I'm so sorry :(
i went through the same for more than a year and a piece of my soul left:( please try making urself sit and draw anything random every few days
think of it like a part of self care routine
Ify and whenever try to everything would just frustrates me
HOW DOES EVERYONE KEEP THEIR GOUACHE PALLET SO CLEAN I GOT MINE YESTERDAY AND IT LOOKS LIKE A TRASH CAN.
😂
What a coincidence! Today I took a big step in my art for I finally got the courage to start painting portraits and realized, not surprisingly, that I would have to learn how to mix skin tones. So I was randomly scrolling my UA-cam notifications as I thought about that and found your video. Thank you very much for your work, I really like your art and your channel and you've just helped me a lot. Hope you have a nice 2021 :)
I hope this video helped in some ways, have fun painting the portraits 🥰
I’ve been wondering how to make skin tone. Particularly dark skin colours. (Maybe I’ve been afraid to add new colours that I’ve never used) Thank you so much for sharing it to us. I’m going to try it now.😊🧡
idk why I'm watching this when I'm using a kiddie watercolor everytime I paint 😅. still, thank you. this will be a great help someday.
Cheers to you for not making the mistake of buying a bunch of expensive supplies before even getting started! That’s what I did when I started and I ended up wasting so much money because my skill frankly wasn’t there and supplies make such a minor difference compared to skill level.
Don’t buy expensive stuff until ur ready! Star little by little! I started with colored pencils from Walmart and now I’m using professional paints and sometimes draw my family! It’s like being a beginner in singing, don’t go out of your way to buy a $170 microphone set because it will be useless since your not ready! Always start little!
Same, I'm using water colours that my parents brought me when I was 5 , but the most important part is that it works!!!
thank you so much for the kind words. I'll be experimenting more on my watercolor since it's what I got for now and I will do my best to "upgrade" someday. 😊
The colours shown
✌🏻✌🏼✌🏽✌🏾✌🏿
My skin
✌️
Yesss my prayers have been heard!!! I've been stuck on a portrait for almost a month now THANK YOU SO MUCH!
THIS REALLY HELP ME! I'VE BEEN TRYING SO MANY COLORS JUST TO MAKE A GOOD SKIN TONE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Am I the only one here who found this video VERY satisfying? (VERY USEFULL too)
I think you did an amazing job at showing us how to mix skin tones. They are always the hardest for me to mix and im super glad i found your video! Thank you!
I haven’t painted in so long, this motivated me to paint again! Thank you for the tutorial 😊❤️
I’ve been staring at my gouache paints, sketchbook and paintbrushes for who knows how long- Me to scared ;(
AlishaAnimations * the quicker you stop being afraid and make ugly drawings, the quicker you'll improve! Mistakes are part of art and are crucial for creating a good piece of artwork
@@Buzzzy-bee this might work for everything we feel afraid to start doing
@@Buzzzy-bee "It is ok to make ugly art." When we get rid of this weight ("you must do only beautiful and stunning art"), we can try and try without fear and it will make us improve and go out of our comfort zone...
Don't be scared, you'll be fine! Draw whatever you want and whatever makes you happy. Also, it's ok to have breaks or art block... Just don't force yourself :))
Lol same
thank you so much!! i’ve always been searching FOREVER for in depth tutorials on gouache skin tones so this is a godsend
ahhh!! Just on time!! Just took the phone and got your notification 😆💕
hello 🤍
I love ur anime
you're a great teacher
Omg thank you so muchhhhh...you don't know how much this helped me ..I was jus thinking to do some art ..and this was what I needed
Tysm ..ily❤️✨
I have the 24 set of the himi gouache and theres a lovely peach colour already in the pallete i use with white as a base then adjust accordingly. Its a nice start to have :)
It's so beautiful to know a new things from you 💙♥️
This video is so comforting, watched it with so much serenity, please do more videos like this. Show us many ways how to mix in many variations e.g. how to mix ... green tones, red tones, best ...
I can hear your breaths it’s so calming 🤍
I like this. I understand why it’s difficult to explain since it really depends on the artist how to get the color they want through various trials and errors.
This kind of process (even without much explanations) is already quite helpful honestly. So thank u for posting this.
I’d love to see what color choices u personally pick for the shadows to match a specific skin type.
Woww. I am soo grateful for this video. I was just planning to paint studio ghibli scenes but I had no idea of painting skin tones. And at the very moment you came as a SAVIOUR✨♥️. Lots of love ❤️❤️
i'm acting making my first ever gouache portrait so this was the type of video i needed to see :)
I'm starting to fall in love with your videos. Theyre so relaxing and beautiful to watch. Thanks for making them and keep up the great work!
Your are always my life saver
Because we are having art competition and i was not getting how to mix !!!!!!! I searched and i have seen so many but i did get perfect shade
But when u applode this i have seen the perfect shade for my painting
THANK YOU 😊
THANKS AGAIN 🤗
OMG as an artist, that started practicing with the HIMI gouache paint set, I was literally having a hard time making skin tones but with this AHHH LIFESAVERRR , PS love ur art, great content that made me subscribe 💖✨
THANK YOU!!! I needed this lesson to push me along in the ways of getting the right mixtures. I just practice, practice, practice, make mistakes and start again. Thank you ❤️😎
I love that Celyn shows you what colours they use, but I feel like this should be something that's taught with the primary colours or split primary, to help everyone trying to learn how to do this with the basic colours that most people have.
Watching your calming videos help me with my migraines.thank you so much
The best gouache skin tone tut so far! 💖
I just bought my gouache and it should come on Monday! This video has been extremely helpful since I usually have a hard time mixing skin tones! Thank you thank you thank you!! 😁
An absolute goldmine to a newb such as myself! Many thank you’s for posting this. 👍🏻🎨👍🏻
i love how this vid is very relaxing to watch
This is so beautiful. I love the whole video. Just watching your process and seeing you mix is so relieving.
I just got my first gouache set and I'm still practicing particularly on blending to make skin colors so this is very useful!!! Thank you so much! ♡
It's so nice of you, wasting this much gouache just to help us learn🥺, I would never
this was a wonderful guide. thanks for choosing such lovely music. the combo of your mixing and the music was incredibly relaxing
Thank you! for making this it will help me since my himi just came few days ago!

This couldn't come at a better time, skintone can be a struggle sometimes 😅 thanks for sharing!
This is such a helpful video I bought my first gouache set few months ago, and I have been struggling so much with mixing skin color, it actually made me feel demotivated and lost interest. Definitely gonna pick up my gouache set again and learn how to do this. Thanks so much for the video!
THis was so helpful, like omg I can feel more comfortable painting people now
Thank you! This just saved my painting 🙈 i was winging it and uh... well. the skin was a desaturated mess
omg thank you I've been really wanting to try out gouache and do studio Ghibli characters like you bc it seems so therapeutic but I thought skintones would be very difficult to figure out and I already struggle with it when I do watercolor so this is just on time!
I'm so glad, I hope it helps 🥰
Your mixing skill is so good, I struggle always mixing the right color😍
Thank you so much for this!! I ordered my first gouache set a few days ago and it may arrive any time soon. This video is just what I needed♥️✨
