Realistic Skin Tone Coloring by Lisa Mitrokhin

What you’ll learn
Realistic skin tone coloring of pale, olive, and dark skin, with colored pencils.

Requirements
Basic understanding of coloring and shading with pencils.

Description
Learn unique and easy-to-follow skin tone coloring techniques from a professional artist.
Lisa Mitrokhin – painter, illustrator, author, YouTuber, and instructor – is here to teach you all her secrets on coloring pale, olive, and dark skin tones. All you need to play along is paper, colored pencils (of any brand), and your enthusiasm.

Research shows that humans respond to human faces much more substantially and positively than anything else, followed only by dogs, cats, and sunsets.
That means using portraits in your art, whether drawing, painting, or coloring, will make your work more likely to be noticed and admired.

This course is structured in three parts, with short (5 to 15-minute) lessons designed for you to follow at your own pace. Lisa starts the class with pale skin tones, moves on to olive skin, and completes the journey with dark skin tones.
Whether you’re a colorist, a drawing student, or an accomplished artist, Lisa provides everything you need to follow along. Each skin tone comes with an original Lisa Mitrokhin digital painting, a grey-scale coloring page of the same character, and a sepia coloring page. Please print out the coloring pages and color them along with her.

You will learn her color selection strategy, new and different shading techniques, and the theory of skin tone coloring, and understand why specific colors appear the way they do on the skin.

After completing this course, you can apply this theory and these techniques to any coloring or drawing.

Important note: this is NOT a portrait drawing course, and this course focuses ONLy on skin tone coloring techniques. You do not need to know how to draw to take this course.
