Portrait Tutorial 4 - Light and Dark Tones

[ella4july]

Could you use a stump to get the same effect as a tissue?

[AndrewFisherArt]

@ella4july yes however i think a stump is a little small, you want a large area for skin tones (unless its the nose or something), cuz it has less imperfections. :)

what pencil did you use to do the first layer of the skin tone?

[AndrewFisherArt]

@1stElitepk it should be a B pencil :) i find it works best for the first tone

@AndrewFisherArt

thanks (:

[AndrewFisherArt]

@MusicnArtfan usually B or 3B. if theres a dark area i seem to be using mechanical pencils at 3B. just works better

[tangkag879]

@AndrewFisherArt i use 5b and 7b
