Clean

Used a reference picture for this. But I DID NOT trace. The photo was of Jaejoong from the korean band DBSK. I didn't care about making my painting look exactly like him, I just wanted to practice coloring skin tones.

The picture I used was a black and white photo a friend emailed me a loooooooong time ago (back when we were obsessed with DBSK). When I painted this, I tried to imagine what the skin tones would look like from the black and white photo. I was going to upload the photo reference somewhere for you guys to compare, but then I found a color image of the photo already online:
