    It kinda upset me when you said your skin tone wasn't nice. You're such a good dude. Please don't say negative things about yourself. There's nothing at all wrong with your skintone. I get that that is a sensitive issue in India and I don't know much about that. But love yourself, man.

      I thought he just meant that his skin tone wasn't what, in the West, is often referred to as "skin colour" when it comes to paints/art supplies.

      Indians, Arabs, South Europeans and North Africans have a much more healthy and good looking skin color than most northern Europeans. The reddish pinkish skin tones are not only sensitive towards sunlight they also are much likely to get skin cancer and other skin diseases.

    This is such a great, timeless tutorial from an excellent digital artist. I always found that Photo Restoration, which was my introduction to Photoshop in 2001, to be one of the best ways to learn Photoshop, because it forces you to use so many different tools.
    I appreciate how your video walks through all of the technical steps, pointing out at least 10 new features I've never used before. In addition, you give great tips on the creative side of Photoshop, and obviously have an excellent eye. Considerations like the blood vessels, skin tone tips, single tones for non-skin areas, how and where to to 'get lost in the details', etc are hugely valuable, and not necissarily something that is brought up or stimulated in other video tutorials.
    Cheers! I'm really looking forward to giving a try.

    the great thing about this vid is that it takes the time to show you how to make skin tones realistic. So many other vids just throw in a color fill layer and botch the job. This vid shows how to take your time (but not too much time) to create something that can pass as authentic.

    This is exactly the gradient-based method I've been experimenting with for colorizing skin, because skin has so much variation between the light and shadows. I find using gradient mapping like this is also useful for compositing, etc.
