6 PAINTING THE Skin TONES

After defining the colour palette I begin painting the skin. I create several layers, each one with a different colour based on my previously created colour palette. Then I create a mask for each layer and start masking each colour separately with a Soft brush. This process enables me to get an interesting colour variation and gradation between the tones. for the black patch on the face I use a different brush to mimic a pattern that I saw in the reference photos.
