Some of us like bright displays and some of us can’t handle that kind of light. Different monitor settings have a tendency to change color.
IPAINT COLORING SHEETS DRAGONS PC
For example my Dorian pic is significantly lighter on my pc than on my phone. Darker skintones are pigmented therefore usually more saturated, therefore if the artist doesn’t realize this is happening they don’t realize the color has changed so they don’t consciously boost the saturation or shift the value. 1) Photoshop tends to desaturate swatched colors. In fact, most are probably swatching from game stills to make sure they don’t whitewash and yet they still get called out for it.
Hell, even most professionals can’t do it perfectly. Color theory takes a long time to learn and most fan artists haven’t spent that kind of time trying to master it. Especially if you haven’t put a lot of study into it. Skintones are HARD to replicate accurately. I want to make it perfectly clear that I agree with the majority of this post and while I’m not excusing this I would like to sit down and explain why people blame this on lighting. And normally I’d be all up on this post screaming “YES, THIS!” Because I agree with a lot of points in this, mostly the “ĭo not take swatches from the lightest part of the face - all the light colours shown here are meant for highlighting purposes. Okay…so if you know me you know that whitewashing is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. They are the highlights of the face, to be used to display light bouncing off the surface of one’s skin.Įvery image of the characters except Josephine was taken from the dragon age wiki site and was only altered to fit and blend with the pictures. You can do better than that.ĭo not take swatches from the lightest part of the face - all the light colours shown here are meant for highlighting purposes. Stop lightening skin, stop slimming down features, and stop blaming whitewashing on lighting. You know better than that.
You are certainly welcome to use them as a base. Use these colours if you’d like - they were more meant to prove a point.
IPAINT COLORING SHEETS DRAGONS SKIN
Take your appropriate swatches if you must, and make sure you are staying true to the characters actual skin tone. There is no excuse when someone whitewashes a character. All of the characters above are whitewashed and have their skin lightened on a daily basis. Whitewashing is a huge problem in every fandom, and DA is no exception.
