Answers: How do you paint realistic skin tones and lighting on a portrait?
- skin tone color theory
- light and shadow in digital painting
- highlight placement and angles

What it concludes
- Painting skin tones on an egg shape using logical light and shadow relationships nurtures artistic imagination rather than copying reference photos pixel by pixel.
- Reflected or bounced light must remain within the shadow family, and highlights are angle-dependent based on the object, the eye, and the light source.
