This is terrific Anton, thank you very much. I've never tried making my own skintone before and this looks like it could be the perfect starting point. 8) Catlin

spudgrl, If you have a program like PhotoShop you can have two windows open, one with the texture you are painting and the other with this image. Use the eyedropper tool to pick up the color from Anton's map and then your brush tool on the template to apply that color. (Use the [ and ] keys to change brush sizes on the fly while painting.) Example, you have the seam guide slightly visible under your map. You've filled the area with the skin base after picking a base from the upper left corner of one of his palette. Now you want to use the highlight color on the tops on the cheekbones and middle of forehead, etc., and the contour color in the hollows... so you eyedrop the corresponding colors from this palette and brush them neatly on your image, knowing with some confidence that they will work well together. The range is fairly tight and elegant. Anton, Thanks... this is very well and thoughtfully laid out! Carolly

No problem. Was fun to do. Aye, Carolly is correct. This chart is good to use in conjection with the skin detailing tutorial. At some point I may do more involved tutorials when I have the time.-Anton, creator of

The color chart is great! I really appreciate it. Any tips on making decent looking freckles? I can't get the coloration quite right. Thanks!
PheonixRising posted Fri, 31 October 2003 at 11:35 AM
I never made freckles. Most people try circles and ovals. Freckles are pigmentation clusters so use one of the darker shades above. Make some freckles ising small angled and slightly oval brushes. Then use ripple, wave or some distort function in Photoshop to diversify the shapes. You could try desaturating them and trying my skin tutorial above. Liverspots could be freckles too but more brown.

Freckles: 1) Use a cloud filter with some darker skintones (dark suntan and medium suntan, for instance) on its own layer, set layer blend mode to dissolve, and turn opacity way down until you get a good sprinkling of dots. Make a completely blank layer below it, then merge the dissolve layer down to get it in an editable form. Guassian blur with a small diameter (1 or 2 is what I used on a 2000 X 2000 map). Repeat for variety until you get a sprinkling you like. 2) VLD snowflake filter, free at http://www.v-d-l.com/index.html . Use a dark skintone and play with sliders until you get the effect you like. Here's another hint for freckle tone. Brown haired people will usually have brown/blackish freckles. Red-heads, though, will usually have more orange-y freckles. To get a good redheaded freckle color, chose a bright orange, then turn the saturation way down until you get into the brown area, and it'll look more realistic.

That's a great item to have, Anton! A nice JPG of it should be in the free section. Question: The smaller colors on the right...they all look the same same shade to me. Is this so? Or is my monitor screwed? (perhaps it's my color blindness showing up...my tans, beiges, lavendars, l. browns, vanillas, etc. tend to look the same).

I don't have hosting so I can't do freestuff these days. The small diagram to the right simply explains what the balls are on the left. The spheres contain varying shades of the same hue. Just eyedrop around the same sphere for accurate variation.

"The small diagram to the right simply explains what the balls are on the left." DOH! "I don't have hosting so I can't do freestuff these days." Is that a PSD file? How big would the 2 files be together (zipped) ya think? Half a MB? 1 MB? I think I could host it for you, Anton, if you wanted to pursue it. My family site has a 5GB transfer (unless my math is wrong, I could easily take 1,000 downloads).

These are great, Anton. I remember the first skin tone palette you did, and still have it somewhere.
