advice on color faces.

[kutupangelsx5]

Hello everyone at AON,
I was trying to get into doing kinda creepy scary style tattoos.Not so much like really realistic portrait work but something in between.Realism/newskool.ive never really done that many faces i wanted to start out trying to do really high contrast color faces because i obviously can blend colors and shade and i know most of the basics that ill need.i know alot of theory on art as well,i just heard that its alot different doing the faces n stuff,its alot harder than it looks.i was curious if anyone had any advice they can give me on the subject.use water to dilute my colors,use straight pigment like i usually do and white to blend all the colors down.start off with my darks first or lights first?i really fig. i would go at the project with the mind set that it was a painting,still maintaining the basics always do ur black work and shading first and stuff,but then just build up shapes and shadows....any advice would help. thanks guys

well ya see im kinda in a bind for money right now i bought the see you in hell dvd i loved it...it was great..i wanna get the whole enchilada but dude like i said money is tight i got kicked out of my place ...s&!tty s&!t. so maybe when i get a few extra bucks put away ill grab a copy cuz id love to see how you do color faces n stuff.i have seen people do it...they used white...and just kept blending down as they went into their highlight...then added a little darker tone to get the shadow in there deeper and more contrast

thanks tho brandon
