Photoshop question re: skin tones

Postby Stretch Dude » Sun Oct 08, 2006 8:07 pm

I'm coloring an assignment for school, and find myself slightly vexed: One of my characters is Hispanic, and my every attempt to create the proper skin tone makes him look like he's been swimming in Cheetos. Does anyone know of a good base color for a Hispanic skin tone in CMYK?

I would suggest finding pictures of people and getting a pallette of skintones from those, rather than trying to guess the right shade.
In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody had decided not to see.
