Base Colors & Feature Friday! (Patreon)

Hey everyone! Here is the sketch you saw yesterday with all my base shades and shadows, right before I’m about to start adding highlights and more colors.

Tip: When I am trying to make a drawing that radiates warmth, I avoid using black, gray, or any cool color for my sketch layer. Instead, I use a mix of brown, red, and orange. When it comes to shading colors and tones on top, I only use my most saturated colors (like red) on a couple choice areas, like the elbow, the tip of the ear, and the nose/cheeks, to create emphasis. It also kind of visually describes that there is blood in those areas and makes the skin look alive rather than “dead.” The rest is a mix of neutral tones like yellowish orange.

It’s also Feature Friday, which means I get to give you guys some recognition!! 💖 Comment or message me if you would like a feature of your art tonight on my story 🤗

Happy Friday!! ☀️✨
