Happy Tuesday everyone! ✨ I hope you’re all having a wonderful day so far 🥰

Here is a brand new color palette with a collection of skin tone colors I frequently use! 💛  I love finding new ways to increase the efficiency of my work flow, and I’ve always found it really helpful to have colors ready to use for quick sketches and such! ☺️ So I decided to share the colors with you guys too! ✨

In the palette there are 3 spectrums that contain a gradient of different hues from light to dark — the top row is more of a golden spectrum, the middle row is a rosy red spectrum, and the bottom row is a darker earthy spectrum 🍊 I‘ll often use these tones for my starting base color, and I also like to use them on a multiply layer if I want to achieve a darker skin tone or for shadows! ✨

The palette is downloadable for Procreate users and will go directly into your color palette gallery after you download it so you can pull it up while you work :) For Photoshop and other users, I’ve attached the image of the palette below so you can pull it up while you’re working and color-pick the shades! 💛

Both files are attached at the bottom of this post, but I’ll also share the Dropbox file here in case one of the other files doesn’t work! Hopefully everything works hehe 🙈 

I hope you guys enjoy it!! ✨You can check out my 4 other color palettes here 🥰 

Have a lovely day everyone!! 💌

love,

Lydia ✏️

Okay so thank you for making sure to include deeper brown skin tones in this palette. Very thoughtful and appreciated, Lydia!

Haha yess I’m so happy you like it!! 💛 And I would love to make a future video about rendering/coloring a male face now that I’ve made one about how to sketch it! I’ll write that down in my notes! 🥰

Absolutely! 💛 I also like to use some of the shades on a multiply layer to get a deeper look as well, and if you want a brighter look you can use the shades on a hard light layer for highlights and such! ☺️ I hope you enjoy it!

Yay!! 😍 I’m so happy you like them! 💛 Rosy tones are usually my go-to for quick sketches and I love how they create a really warm look! 🥰

Skin tones are hard to choose because they can come out muddy or undersaturated so these are such a lifesaver!! Thanks a bunch Lydia 💗☺️
