About this class

Learn how to develop skin tones using layered alcohol markers and careful value changes.

This class focuses on building the face gradually, starting with lighter base tones and adding warmer midtones, deeper shadows, and small highlights. You’ll see how subtle shifts in color can create more structure around the cheeks, nose, lips, eyes, and neck.
