Hi Nino, Ive spent a couple hours on this. Such a strange colour range for skin in this guy, more on the yellow side of things and very grey. Had no idea what I was lookin at at first, so I colour picked a base colour and checked I was in the ball park a few times but once I got going my relative perception of colour took over and I started to find it much easier. I was concerned at first because my painting looked a bit like a dead body for ages but when the warmer shadows were getting more established and some of the colour variation it started to look correct. Should I be colour picking at all to check things or should I be grinding until its right? I know in real paints I would be mixing colour and closing one eye and holding it up on a piece of paper or something until the edge 'disappears' into the reference and because Id be starting with a limited palette it would be a process of 'bit more blue, bit more ochre, bit more red, oh no, bit more blue and ochre, bit more white' until it looks right. obviously there's nothing like that when doing digital though so you either know where it is on the wheel off the bat or you don't. any tips would be helpful (obviously I could always pull up the Zorn palette grid from the other week too).
anyway, thanks in advance, hope you're keeping well and had a nice week mate,
best,
Alex
