How to Perfectly Blend Skin Tones with Egg Tempera - Step by Step Tutorial

Hello my name is Antonis and I am the illustrator of this video For today's video I will take King Maria the King Maria using an example From the Vatopedi monastery on Mount Athos This image of Queen Maria is a bit different from the usual ones I like to take but it was a really nice challenge and if you are interested See how you can take a slightly more natural-looking image From the pictures I usually take you're in the right place Here you see me having already transferred my formation and now taking the lead The King's sisters the nuns I won't show you my formation or my position I will continue to speak about them I have an amazing video on my channel featuring the nuns of Queen Maria And you can find all the information to get them from this video Also I would like to thank you all for being here in my video For your support with your beautiful comments and for your training program It contains many emails months of photos of your formation and it's wonderful Let me see your program and many of you tell me that my videos are helpful And that is really nice Also thank you all so much and feel free to sign up If you don't have it yet You can also support this channel on patreon com And be my sponsors I will say It's truly wonderful to see people who want to pay for something I will give it freely Here you see me using my palette I have a dish and I'm talking about the colors in this dish I want to do a temporary tattoo so I use some black some gray I'm using a little white and a little white as well I send a lot of color and try to get all the pigment there and I'm trying to create a color that's just enoug But it also has the power to close the white gap with a piece So I use my time to speak and try to find the right color Of course there is no specific recipe and the premonitions can be dealt with from the other side There is no let's say No one will go to jail if the preplasma is not the correct color Just try to create a related color that addresses the pre-contrast of your photo After taking this first part of the pre-mix and I'm using a piece because I want the underground formation I've got in black to show I will start preparing my writings the hardest parts The most striking facial features in the photograph of Virgin Mary So as you can see here I take some of the color from the preform I add a little black I think this black is called ochre red in English something like that Please let me know if you know the name of this black one that takes black as a characteristic please let me know And a little black I'm adding just a small white one as you can see here Of course as I always say I don't have recipes I just try to keep up and try to know The characteristic colors it has used in the past And again I watch how dark these writings are in my example watching their preludes And I'm trying to turn this relationship into a picture in my mind If you haven't used a head you can try a little give it a try It's very satisfying especially with the extension Here you can see that I use these characteristic black characteristics At this point I use writings but at the same time going back and forth through my past I am between the black writings and the characteristic preforms Also I use these relationships in my premonitions and I talk about them I'm a bit more of a character when I use a meaty style image I will try to speak these writings a bit with my preface This is very close to This has truly informed the Italian character And many ancient characteristic photos have exactly the same progress Now I'm preparing a color that has some pre-plasma And a little cadmium green and a little writing And with this color I will do some more green writings As you will see now I was also impressed by how well they worked I have never received messages like these before But the image I follow leads me to And he tells me to take these writings so red Try to face your photo The image you are providing and try to figure out which details It has been used and where Here is my daily routine schedule Since I feel good about the writings I will start preparing a color as you can see here For my first photograph For this I use white ochre and And a little quail egg This is a very important color A major step in the process of photogrammetry so I use my time and I am sure that the color I am preparing It's quite little but it also has the power Turn off the prepayment say 90% And I'm also trying some approach In the color of this color I want it to be ot extremely white But also not extremely clear I want something in between And of course I want the color to be the same A color that is strong enoug But not extremely white Because I want to have the power I want to play with my second light and with the pure roast Here you see me play the first light The first light If I am not satisfied With how it will play when I play I feel free I will repeat the color in my palette Make it more powerful Either do it a little more or do it less Make it more red as needed here And when I am satisfied I will swim with a very nice dolphin As I always say e relationships and characteristics I see who has played the master of the house When I play this first lighting I'm trying to keep two things in my mind First I build the relationships e general relations of light here in the mind of Virgin Mary And secondly I observe where these relationships are Blending into my propulsion system and with small details I will make a very basic blending Like what you see here in my pre-workout Look at which parts from your relationships It needs to be mixed and just do something Linear blending Without any other protection in your mind Just building the right relationships of light Of course the navy blue here is fantastic It helps a lot and I am happy to say that These are I should have believed they were trustworthy but if you support them they are practical They can support four or five times More than one synthetic blue Thus During it is more economical More economical and I have some relationships below In the video description and some relationships where you can buy large relationships and f you are If you are in the USA I have some connections Where you can find relationships from Amazon of the USA So you will be happy for you to find them from there and if you are from Greece or Europe Can you find them from the Italian Amazon And you can read my descriptions below I think tha Using a proper blue a blue helper is extremely importa Not only because you do the wor Okay that's correct but also very Happy to work with the blue Here you see after the first popular one I will prepare a color that is betwee of the first people and the supply chain and with this I will do the first blue Here as you can see I add a small white one only a small white one Because I see that there is a white one and a small white Because I see that there is a white color between the first and the supply and I want to allow this color of the Example For this blue color I use the color of the prelude the color of the first folk a small white and a small white one I use a lot of and if I need to add Only a small white white or red dealing with how I feel in the moments I feel free I'm adding a little boy to make it so free As long as I feel it should be And aving created a beautiful black red color I'm just trying to speak with small Lines My job here is only to make a firs flax yar As much as I can I take my time and I always work at the location of my knife Can you say even if it is A quick line you can say at these knives keep their color for a long time more than a synthetic knife and this is another reason why He is very happy You can make and make it Without repeating yourself Your knife with color When you build this port of the blending watch tha This will not be the only por The blending will be more so Try to make the first blending between the bow thruster and the first lighting Watch your time This is a very important step the process of genealogy and I will say that it is one of the most difficult ones gs and if you understand this step To mix two colors together the You have done a very good job I have a video to mix two Colors together in tempera or acrylics and You can read it on my channel Here we just lit a first one Blending and then you can proceed Please make a second degree blending so you take some of these the blending and Proceed a bit more slowly where the color is Of the Proplasmus You have reached a color that is muted from the first and with this cigar which is not as soft as the pre-melted one You will be mixed up some will be separated Between the pre-mix and this first color you created I hope this makes sense to you and that you can see it in the video and understand it You And after I make this hard color I will make a third color here that is Today near my first color That's why I put some of my first color's colors I'm adding a little bit of the first blue color So as you can see now this blue color It's close to my first color but doesn't have the power of the first color Many ancient iconographers believe that the first color is not so important and The larger work continues with the second color in the refrigerators and black Very hard to write and this I think if you understand this first color and how to spea The first light in your prelude then you are truly on the right track And here you see me speaking in the pieces of my color with this color that is very close to my first color and the photographer here does a very good job in the photo in a more Let's say pairs of pieces of the Verge Maria while the iconographer Crete It would have been more let's say harsh and unyielding and for me it was an opportunity to play And this was something different and I really like to compose the shot in the photograph of Verge Maria In such a different way from the Cretan style Thus as you can see regarding the color the blended pieces create a full filled effect Color and the middle part of the photo create a more pinkish tone This is really nice and gives some let's say fullness and a shot to the head and when I'm done with this blue color that's close to In the first photo I will take a first photo and discover This is the first photo in the photo of Verge Maria This first photo I use to discover At the end of my blending process there is a little more and a more visible one The first photo I use at the beginning Here you can see that I take some from this first photo And I will use it to discover this first photo at the end of the process Well as you can see I'm taking time to take this first photo I'm not slow to move forward Or something like that And here you will see me photographing some of the currents of the Royal Maric For this I make a color with some monsoon current white a little pre-mold or Also a little from the first photo I only use one color that is in style I have no specific one I have the recipe in my mind I only see my example and with this flow I will try I need to create this current of thought in the Royal Marika's mind The enceinte is very photogenic as you can see here And especially if you live in a curre Just like me you need to be very careful with the photos that show your images So here you see me forming with this nice color that is very little But it still has some of its power left I'm trying not to overdo it and trying to speak it Very good with my first light So this is an access that you need to be more careful with To avoid ruining all the good work you've done If you see that You can go get some light color paint like you see here and destroy those checks these good checks and you can go back and forth as you see here in Use this palette with the best color using this first light mix With the mix let's say the color of the propellant if you get red that's the best color in the column The lighting of your stomach here and you can go back and forth to create this beautiful one white Red lig Flickering lights in the pre-lighting you receive It's better to go with white and lower ones again So when I'm ready with this I'll also prepare a color for the second light For this I will generally use the color of the first light with some White lead and some cadmium gree and I will prepare this second lighting as if it were a refrigerator that is to say With some kind of linen I'll get some let's say cooling devices they are not cooling devices Because it's not just white this color is not just white bu I'll prepare it as if it were a cold dish I'm not worried that it looks like that Let's get this over with quickly because soon I'll be talking about these Glimmers let's say this second light in my first light So I'm not worried that it's not taking well If you find this video helpful please subscribe Subscribe to this channel and more videos will be applied and give me some value I will continue to make these videos for you and try to understand how these masters use Let them create their wonderful image and let's see if we can learn something from them and now you see I'm doing this blending as I said before so I take some color that is a b Between the second lighting and the first lighting as you can see here and I will add some Englis I will mix the second lighting with my first one using this intermediate color Again using this gentle method I do it as sensitively as possible The first the second lighting of the refrigeration to show and It is very important to work with a very well-known blender in the blender field The more you practice and praise the more you understand how your tools are treated And when you realize how they treat your tools then they will become very easy for you I'm trying not to mess it up again and not to repeat this blue color blending I need to close it everywhere and everywhere because I will lose some of the work I did before This is something you need to find and see where you should stop no teacher can It teaches you so it is important to follow the example and see how the illustrated teacher does it It has created and after this blinding color as you can see here you repeat this second lighting To prepare your lighting for the white noise here for the white noise These types of people should not be specifically in a traditional traditional traditional You don't need to have very many or form almost a duo you just need to create e areas in a lighting that needs to be created and then you can create some White color with a white color and some white etc to form the mind Again I will not give any specific recipe because I don't have one I will watch and try to I understand that the master iconographer has made the icon and created it The colors in the base and the car But what I can say is that I am at this point in the creative program Let's say I'm excited about his creative lighting and I'm ready to finish The creative aspect so I'm excited I find that I'm excited and that's something that works Instead of the quality of the creative program we should take some time as I say Even if we are excited to finish just because we are enthusiastic and want to see Our creativity is exhausted but we need to stop ourselves for a while and give some time Where the creative needs to get even better I don't know if I'm making a difference but I hope I can so after what I'm building here I will prepare a color that is a b Hard almost black but not exactly black and I will do My hard character features such as the high arch and the less prominent features and the roots and the highest parts of the heavens the highest parts of the heavens can be built w Clean black try to see how the director's accountant speaks w These hard-to-let-go thoughts and It's really beautiful when I create the top things in my mind it's like everything comes together Together they are really nice I hope you also enjoy making top-quality ones I think it's so bad that they finished these photos they're only two characteristic photos Two characteristic photos and that's it so little and in the end I'll make the White of the sky and here is where the mind really comes to appear and The app and the spirit come together I could create skies 24 hours a day As well as that this is the light of the Royal Marikés As I have used it I hope very much that this was helpful to you I tried to deal with my palette as such Many of you have asked and if you find this regular open these are sensitive to be included Ask questions sign up and you can also find me on patreon com More active support Thank you very much have a blessed week goodbye
