spare basin
(New artist) I learned how to render hair but I’m not really sure about skin because up to know my skin has just been a base color and if I could learn to render skin I would become much better (I mean literally how do you do it because I have no clue where to start)

The best way to learn how to render skin is knowing the face planes and lighting. The two factors determines how everything will land with shadows and highlights

This is an example of what I’m talking about
Also ignore the actual face I know it looks all 👁️ in my drawing

Looks like basic shading to me. The lighting is coming from the top and its shading the planes thats not being hit by it
Its two toned. The main color and a shadow color

Yes but literally how do you do that
Like do you use opacity brush in black and just go over the areas you shade over and over going deeper for more darkness

Its not black. Its a darker color shifted to the right (more blue)

Try using colors and going further in the saturation (and cooler on the wheel sometimes) for shadows :3

ill try that when i draw next
but i think i did well on the hair
this was my first drawing trying to render stuff

Also remember not all shadows are hard or soft! They can be both smoothed out and hard shadows. Most don’t recommend using the airbrush a lot because of that
Its very nice, I’m still learning myself

i dont
this is my best lineart but you can see i have 0 clue what rendering is
native mirage
Honestly breaking the face down into shapes and recognizing the planes of the face can help with determining where shadows and how shadows should be
I like it actually

yes i know i do the method with the circle and the + which i know isnt a good way to do it
native mirage
You can deffo make some of your highlights sharper versus super smooth, i think it would add lots of dimension

i thought it was the way to do it until i started seeing videos where it gets clowned

You highlighted certain spots
Like the yellow orbs and lightning have highlights in them
native mirage
At least i assumed the yellow orbs were supposed to be like, reflections
Of the light
