Cool colouring tip (Patreon)

My palettes tend to look very very skin like, so sometimes i can get my skin tones too similar to the hair or clothing colour, so it makes it kinda harder to differentiate where I’ve painted and where I haven’t. To avoid this, i use the underlying layer that will set the tone for the illustration as a “base” and hide the skin tone to make it easier to completely fill my other layers without being confused.

I hope this tip helps!
