- Learning how to paint skin can be hard, we think we know what it looks like, but the truth is a bit more complicated. To paint skin, you need to understand what skin is first, and once you know that, you'll be able to paint any skin, in any color.

Love it! 8 mins of pure info! I'll also add, based on my studies, that while pale skin is slightly translucent and has a bit of subsurface scattering to it, darker skin is actually more opaque but has more pronounced specular highlights! Usually on the cheeks, nose and forehead. This is due to abundant melanin and sebum (skin oil).
@@liveinamber1307 thank you! I try my best not to waste anyone’s time when making my videos, you are right about the highlights! I remember uploading the video and realizing I forgot to add that part.
Great tutorial! Adding subsurface scattering instantly makes the painting more realistic
It does! and it's pretty easy too.
On a more technical level; the redness beneath the skin primarily originates from hemoglobin, which is transferred from the blood into the skin. Hemoglobin provides oxygen to the cells, and this is the “blood” you see when cooking meat. Interestingly, the skin itself has a slightly greenish hue. When melanin is present, a darker red tone, combined with the green, falls within the orange color spectrum, resulting in the dark brown appearance characteristic of black skin or tan.
Thank you so much for this! Clearly I still have lots to learn. And clearly I should have asked my wife, the doctor, to explain to me a bit more about how skin works 🤣. Thanks!
The skin itself having a greenish hue-is that why some people’s veins look green at the wrists?
@@angelintodemonseed Not really. The reason veins appear blue or green is not directly related to the effect that causes skin to appear orange. Vein color results from the way light interacts with the skin and blood, where blue and green light are scattered more efficiently and penetrate less deeply than red light, creating the illusion of blue or green veins. But skin appearing orange is primarily due to the reflection of red and yellow light influenced by mending, carotenoids, and the underlying blood vessels. Skin is not inherently "green," but it can appear that way.
Always knew about subsurface scattering but didn't really understand why or how to use it. This was the first video that explained it so that I actually understood
Thank you!
Awesome! I'm glad to help!
I didn't realize many objects experience subsurface scattering! Definitely gonna try and apply it to more than just skin ✌️
@@zinzolin14 awesome! Let me know if it works for you!
Thanks! That was helpful! I'm just starting to learn digital drawing/painting. 💖🏴
You Are welcome Linda, I'm glad you found it useful!
Apparently, scientists have just figured out a dye that can effectively eliminate much of the scattering within skin, turning it translucent. Halloween in a couple years is going to be next level skinless ghouls all over.
Thank's for that nightmare inducing image 🤣

That depends if there's make up on the skin or not
@@Sharperthanu1 that’s true. Actually one of the giveaways when someone is wearing too much makeup is because the skin looks opaque
Oh my gosh, your videos are so good I've subscribed!
Thank you so much!!
That time I cut my dead skin to make a stylus pen because my apple pencil dies, I notice that my skin is translucent because I can kinda see my finger through it
was the stylus made entirely out of dead skin or just the tip?
@@Javicandraw Just the tip

@@dragonluvver975 wake up new art hack just dropped
Great video! Can this technique apply to cel shading as well, or is this more for the realistic “painting” effect?
You can do it as well. Use a hard brush instead of a soft one on the overlay layer
I definitely think you are crazy.
Yes, but im also right…. Right?
Hi Javi! Javi here, yeah we are many ;) Great tutoririals, straight to the point, well explained and full of useful information. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you other Javi! I'm glad you liked it!
Interesting
@@Saigo-ul1xo I’m glad you found it interesting! Are you going to give it a try?
@Javicandraw Definitely ill post and tag you and I'd love to see your thoughts on it😁
Actually, i paint everything like skin. Things just looks better with sub surface scattering even if it isn't technically correct
yeah I like using that effect near shadows as well! maybe a bit too much 🤣
