I've heared throughout the years, as an illustrator that the best way to produce realistic skin-tones is to use as many colors as possible, showing where the hot/cool spots are. So, I made the attempt of just painting straight-up blue, yellow & red & blending them & holybannanas. It works O_O. I'm deffinetly doing this more often...

And just some other stuff I've worked on here & there...

Awesome coloring, Penny! I love that you left half un-mixed for us to see! I've used primary colors before, but never such bright, bold ones! I will have to try it sometime...

You reminded me of wayyy back in Mr. Burger's class where I used blue in a pastel picture to add shadows to a person's skin and hadn't blended it. I literally had the entire table telling me I was crazy and asking why I was ruining my picture! >< lol (And I don't know if you remember that class but it was uh... interesting. lol)
