It is important to use different skin colors in fashion illustration drawings. It is important that you address target audiences of different races and cultures in presentations. You need to prepare the figures accordingly. In this application, we will apply three different skin colors as light, wheat and dark on the same posture.

There are a few rules to consider when applying these skin tones. When toning with a marker pen, there should be no pencil marks in the area you are going to color. In the painting process, we must paint carefully without overflow. First you need to adjust the posture of the figure. We will proceed by making the toning process with marker pens suitable for light, wheat and dark skin colors. Then we will complete the toning process with colored pencils suitable for these skin colors.
