disclaimer: I am east asian. if anyone who is not white sees anything wrong with my phrasing, inaccuracies, or insensitivity, or something I missed, please feel free to add on. I’m just one person with one perspective; none of what I say should be taken as The Singular way to draw an Asian character. if you havent done so already, please take the effort to expand your view of Asian culture outside this one tutorial.
if a white person reblogs this and adds something stupid I’m going to bite and kick you like a wild animal
Dumb question from beginner artist: how does one identify undertones? Does anyone know a good resource for learning this or can someone explain it? I see the term and think I have an idea of the meaning but I have no idea which resources for this are good
Basically undertones refers to whether there’s a pinkish tint to the skin or a yellowish tint. These are charts you can find by googling “undertones chart” or whatever
Ultimately it’s kinda just up to practicing eyeballing colours. Keep a character’s undertone consistent between drawings and you should be good. And you can always google random faces and try some quick sketches for practice
