The Reason Skin Looks Light Or Dark Is Contrast !

hey yall ive been doing a lot more painting and proper rendering recently and i wanna give yall this very important tip about coloring skin that i found

the reason skin looks light or dark is Contrast !

and Contrast is made by Highlights and Shadows !!

to put it simply:

lighter skin has sharp, dark shadows and soft highlights

darker skin has sharp, bright highlights and soft shadows

Hey Yall Ive Been Doing A Lot More Painting And Proper Rendering Recently And I Wanna Give Yall This

it doesnt really matter what color your light source and shadow is, this is typically gonna stay the same

(( so dont trust an artist if they consistently make people w dark skin look pale and say that "the lighting is making it that way" instead of taking the criticism and learning from it ))
