lol I feel like I just use nsfw stuff as an excuse to practice painting something.๐Ÿ˜…

Donโ€™t really understand colors yet though, thatโ€™s why I just use the gradient map for now.

I do this sometime, find it easier to paint tones in a weird colour but once I think it looks good I hue shift it till I find a skin tone that looks right

Right, I actually find that using weird colors at first makes it way easier to see some of the values you're working with. Kinda like changing it to gray scale really quick to see if it's all working.

Yeah it's like a weird little brain hack, but at the same time a lot of oil painters from back in the day would do their whole work in a monochrome blue or green then glaze skin tones over the top, either way it seems to work and helps not get too stuck early on trying to find a 'correct' colour - anything that makes the process less daunting is good imo haha
