How to Paint a GORGEOUS Dark Skinned Woman Using Tombow Dual Brush Pens

Hey Mixed Media Society member! 

I hope all is FANTASTIC in your world and you're in the mood to play with your Tombow dual brush pens, because THIS is the week we finally get to work on our Tombows capstone project, and get to paint this dark-skinned woman together!! Isn't she stunning?!

This 1.5 hour project is really advanced and will give you the opportunity to FLEX all those Tombow skills you've been building up until this point. She was challenging for me, but I enjoyed EVERY MINUTE, and hope YOU do too:) 

Supplies:

Use what you have, this is what I used:

Black Carbon transfer paper: https://amzn.to/3ajeau0

Fabriano Hot Press Watercolor Paper 11” x 14” https://amzn.to/3kVTJsj

Pentel GraphGear Mechanical Pencil https://amzn.to/3OMntBT

Pentel Arts Sign Pen w/ Micro Brush https://amzn.to/3JhAjZ2

Copic Opaque Paint with Brush https://amzn.to/3Dfr1ZW

Tombow Skin Tone Set https://amzn.to/3CB6CNS

I purchase my Tombows individually from Jerry's Artarama (they have loose stock) so you can check the Skin Tone Set and see which ones are included and which ones are not. Or purchase them individually.

If you can only afford a few, I'd get the following for this project:
020
905
947
899

Skin Tone Colored Pencils (mine are random from a million different sets. I kinda hate colored pencils, but have come to not despise them when I use them on top of alcohol marker projects and Tombow projects like this one! If you don't have a colored pencil set, I like this one: https://amzn.to/3sjXonD)

The face drawing reference photo for today's lesson is of course in the classroom, so make sure you grab that before you get started!

​​✨LAST WEEK, I added 4 "Old School Round-up Lessons" ​to the Skin Tones classroom in case you were looking for related lessons to additional practice. There are two grayscale projects, and two in color. 

​What Else is Happening in August?

Not much! This week's capstone project will most likely drag into next week so I don't want to overwhelm you with any new lessons on the 27th. Plus - if you're a "Wonder Bundler," you've got a new figure drawing lesson coming out next Sunday!

But after that ... I hope you're ready, because it's time to close the chapter on our Tombows for a bit, so we can start working with a NEW art supply to make beautiful skin tones - watercolors!

Can't wait!!
