Skin tone Gradient Maps
Here I am again with more gradient maps cause that's basically what I know how to do here.
But this time I messed a little bit more with the colors. I also decided to publish this separately from the previous one instead of updating cause I think people should have the choise between a more realistic skin gradient and a more colorful one.
So basically this one have a total of 29 skin tones gradient maps (3 more than the last one) and they also have more hues included on each gradient, so you'll find some pink, purples and blues mixed on the skin tones.
In total you'll get:
5 white skin tones
7 black skin tones
6 latin skin tones
6 asian skin tones
5 brown skin tones
To use them there's no secret!
I start with painting the skin with B&W
So they look like this:
Then I go to:
Layer -> New Correction Layer -> Gradient Map
and then choose the Gradient Map I wanna use!
Note: you'll have to move the gradient handles so it better fits you drawing
i.e:
This is how it looks like with the White 1 applied:
and this is how it looks after I adjust the handles to better fit my drawing:
you'll have to play a little with the handles of the gradient so it matches better the results you're looking for.
Also here are some other examples of the gradients applied:
Asian 3:
Asian 6:
Black 1:
Black 4:
Brown 2:
Brown 3:
Latin 2:
Latin 6:
White 4:
And that's basically it! Hope you enjoy this new gradients and I hope it helps you make your drawing life easier <3
