  Wow… this is amazing… the skin tones you’ve captured. I see the little circular strokes you mentioned earlier… do you continue to use those same circular strokes on the very last layers of skin color too?

  Thanks Teresa! For the most part I do – though sometimes I will use light cross hatching of color (slate blue/terra cotta/grayed lavender/etc) over heavily saturated areas to give a hint of color for the views eye without it being too strong.

  Hmmm…… thanks for your time answering my questions. You manage to get so much “life” into your skintones. Sigh. Maybe one day…. keep working, Teresa, keep working….. !!

  Sure thing Teresa – its all about practice. And more practice. And yet more practice If you check out the drawings in my gallery going back to early 2007, you’ll see just how much practice!
