Hello all! I am very excited that the skin tutorial is finally going live. Hope you all find it useful.
Thanks for being so patient.
As I mention, knowing your color theory and anatomy is vital to painting skin well. Someone has already asked for resources on color theory, so it seems logical to post this list in a journal so everyone see it:
Color theory tutorials on the web:
Phil Straub : Color Theory Simplified www.imaginefx.com/022877543322…
fredflickstone @ conceptart.org : Color Theory 1 & 2 www.conceptart.org/forums/show…
Henning Ludvigsen : Color Theory www.henningludvigsen.com/index…
Socar Myles : A Practical Guide to Color tutorials.epilogue.net/princip…
Eugene Arenhaus : The Color Gray tutorials.epilogue.net/princip…
Those are all great starter tutorials. For more in-depth theory, look around on amazon.com for books on the subject. I am sorry but I don't know any to recommend. And of course, if you can try to take a class on the subject!
If anyone has other good resources or recommendations, link me and I'll add to the list.
Cheers

WOW thank you so much! for the skin tutorials and the links, they're so helpful I am just now going into color and I couldn't figure out why my skin looked so dull, I heard many artist say use a wide range of colors but they never explained how and when I did it was a mess until your skin tutorial came and gave me ideas of some colors I can use to render skin I got so excited
and happy
I started practice and each time is looks more natural so thank you 
And thank you for the great links you have provided us, they're all great but the best one had to be the image FX (Phil Straub : Color Theory Simplified) one for me, I have read color theory quit a few times but it never really told me how I can apply this to my painting, I understood primary's etc. but never how can this help my painting until the 1st link showed me the color schemes and it all made perfect sense. So thank you very much and after 2 years I think I finally understanding color
merci
