asfhdkhgjadskjl oh no i know about changing skin color too well. u gotta like do 3 different color filters than color adjustment and then u gotta do that for each skin tone u want and sometimes u gotta manually fix things and UAGAHHA that stuffs like nightmares to me. there is so much set up u gotta do if u want to make it easy later and thats a nightmare too

see u do it the right way im out here raw dogging it. i change my base colors like 7 times & then. well u see i dont do separate layers for shading so i just color the base color right. which means if the shadow isnt right & im too far in for ctrl+z to save me we have to repaint the whole base again. reflective light usually isnt too bad bc thats based on other existing colors but getting the saturation right is its own challenge & then only after i like that do i think okay time to add in adjustments to make it more interesting. legit if i dont think it can pass without them its not even moving to the adjustment stage. i just live like this. its not picrew friendly.
