HOW I PAINT SKIN/LIGHT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZNz3WlB-7M

Most important thing from this video i feel. This guy has a very painterly way of painting skin which is not reaaally what im going for, but still useful!

Remember; Use multiply layer shadows! Add midtones, and shade according to the face structure
