If I could, may I ask a couple of questions?<br /><br />When you build up your darks and lights, I see you start fairly low-key. When you build up closer to the highlight, how do you add color from the light source (in this case, yellow/orange fire) to the lights of Rogue's suit. Do change the opacity, layer property (screen, hard light, etc.), or mix it like a traditional painter?<br /><br />Also, I have difficulty picking skin tones when a character is in an unusual lighting/high contrast situation b/c of its semi-transluscent nature. Often, instead of a natural appearance, my coloring comes across as post-impressionistic, my subject skintone too bright/orange-ish or muddy. That would be fine if that were my intention, but usually it isn't. Do you have an tips for those of us that struggle with this? Or, for that matter, color in general?<br /><br />I don't know if I articulated that very well, but...<br /><br />Again, thanks for the blog posts and the "behind that scenes" sequentials. I appreciate it.<br /><br />MicahMicah Championhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125307793263125322noreply@blogger.com
