Jason Chung's children's illustration class is coming to an end ... and I'm still making up my previous homework (crying). In watercolor characters, the painting of the skin color of the characters is a small difficulty. Although some brands of watercolor pigments are equipped with skin color, they are far less varied than the skin color that they jump out of.
Here, record the color matching method of a watercolor character's skin color and the drawing method of his face.
1. Rubens Watercolor Pigment
2. Korean Hua Hong Gou Xianbi, Qiuhongzhai Dandelion, Pine Branch, Handmade White Cloud Brush
3. Pen Wash Tank-IKEA Candle Holder
4. The above are commonly used tools for watercolor painting. Of course, the brand of materials is not limited, so you can use your own commonly used tools. However, it should be noted that please prepare at least 3 watercolor pens when drawing skin color.
this is the original copy. But the original author painted it with a computer, and we converted it into a watercolor version.
color matching method
Our skin color belongs to orange with low saturation, so now we find the following three colors in the paint box:
1. Medium yellow
2. Red
3. Green
The watercolor brands we use are different from mine, as long as we find similar colors.
colors 1, 2 and 3 will be blended together in a certain proportion. There is no exact quantity here, so you need to keep trying. First, mix red and yellow together to bring up orange. Because orange is bright, you need a little cold green to neutralize it. If the color is too bright, we can also add water to dilute the pigment continuously to make it lighter. Finally, it was probably the color number 4.
after adjusting the skin color, take another pen and select a slightly lighter blue color similar to No.5 in the paint box. Dilute with water and become a "dark part" in the face.
prepare another pen and take the red in the paint box as the color of blush. Mix it with a little skin color and turn it into orange red.
To sum up, if you are a beginner drawing skin color, you need to prepare the following four pens:
1. A pen with adjusted skin color
2. A pen with dark face
3. Blush pen
4. Clear water pen
(As mentioned above, at least three pens should be prepared, and at this time, the blush pen can be temporarily not used. Because beginners are afraid of painting in a hurry, they can prepare four pens. )
coloring step
Before coloring, type the manuscript with a pencil, and then wipe off the pencil mark a little with an eraser, leaving a faint print that you can see clearly. Because the pencil print stained with watercolor is not easy to wipe.
We paint skin color by wet painting. The so-called wet painting method is to paint while the paint is still wet. So the next step is to paint the skin color in one go. Are you ready?
Take out the skin tone pen and apply skin tone easily in the following positions:
1. Above the eyes
2. Nose
3. Blush
Take out the clear water pen and scrape off some water slightly at the edge of the bucket. Slowly dizzy the skin color. Pay attention to the position of eyes, face and other edges, and don't faint.
Take out the dark pen and brush the dark color on the neck. Then rub it with a clear pen at the junction of light blue and skin color in the dark to blend the two colors naturally.
Take a blush pen and add a little red to the skin color to make it orange red.
before the paint is dry, quickly put red on the top of cheeks and ears. Then take a clean pen and slowly faint, and naturally blend with the surrounding skin color.
By this point, the skin color of the face is basically finished.
Because today we mainly talk about the painting method of skin color, so the next steps are briefly described.
The order of painting below is the background color and dark part of the hair; The background color of the clothes (because it is the head, the clothes part does not need to be painted very carefully); Carefully depict the details of hair;
At this time, the face is slightly dry, and the details of the face are depicted; Draw branches on the head when the hair is dry; Draw the ribbon in front of the collar after the clothes are dry;
tick the line; Finally, carefully adjust according to the picture.
The finished picture
Actually, it's a bit like the feeling of makeup. Girls with a makeup background may understand it better, haha. You can also see how important eyeliner and eyebrows are to a girl. After hooking eyeliner and eyebrows, there will be a god at once.
I also drew a line drawing version of this picture before:
Thanks for watching ~ What colors can be used to adjust the skin color of the characters in watercolor painting?
In watercolor painting, the skin color of the characters can be adjusted in light yellow or bright yellow, rose red and blue.
to modulate the skin color of watercolor characters, the materials to be prepared include: color mixing box, bucket,
watercolor pigments
1. Prepare watercolor pigments, including light yellow or bright yellow, rose red and blue
2. Mix light yellow or bright yellow with water as the background color in the color mixing box
3. Add water or pigment to the depth of skin color according to your own needs
5. If you need to draw people with darker skin color, you can add a little blue color on the basis of previous color matching
6. This will make the skin color brown. When you draw people with watercolor paint, how should the color of the people's skin be adjusted?
required materials: color mixing box, bucket and writing brush.
1. First, prepare watercolor pigments.
2. Then, in the color mixing box, light yellow or bright yellow mixed with water is used as the background color.
3. Add a little rose.
4. You can try the color on the paper first, and add water or pigment according to your own needs.
5. If you need to draw people with darker skin, you can add a little blue on the basis of previous color matching.
6. Look at the effect. The skin color is brown.
Extended data
Color matching
The variety of colors is endless and colorful, but there is a certain internal relationship among the colors, and each color can be determined by three parameters, namely hue, lightness and saturation. Tone is a characteristic that distinguishes colors from each other, which is determined by the chromatographic composition of light source and the feeling of each wavelength emitted from the surface of the object to the human eye, and can distinguish red, yellow, green, blue and purple.
by comparing the lightness of various colors, colors can be divided into bright and dark. Saturation, also known as chroma, is a characteristic value that indicates the shade of the surface color of an object, which makes the color different from bright and gloomy. Tone, lightness and saturation form a solid, and we can measure color by numbers by establishing scales with these three.
The colors in nature are ever-changing, but the three basic colors are red, yellow and blue, which are called primary colors. Another color mixed with these three primary colors in different proportions is called compound color, for example, red+yellow = orange; Blue+green = green; Orange and cyan are called compound colors.
