the way you describe color for your tears, is exactly what i needed for water droplets on skin (acrylic painting). thank you for this video.

Thank you! this tutorial is amazing, very short and easy to follow, practical showing of what to do with some theory behind it to help contextualize it!

[@stepien333]

Very helpful, I never would've guessed it was that easy. Great tutorial, thank you.

[@courtneytrowbridge]

Thank you so much! This helped me a ton with the painting I'm working on today! Definitely going to have to watch some of your other tips for pushing realism!

[@Paintable]

Happy to help. 🙂 How's your painting coming along?

[@chariots8x230]

Thank you for making this tutorial! Your explanation was very clear and I really enjoyed watching the video. I would like to suggest a topic that I think will make a good tutorial. Could you create a tutorial on how to paint veins? I'm interested to learn about painting different kinds of veins (both protruding & beneath the skin surface) and to come up with realistic shapes & placements for them. This kind of tutorial would be super useful for creating realistic skin and when painting exaggerated characters such as vampires.
