Ohuhu – Honolulu B – 36 skin tones

Ohuhu 36 skin tone alcohol markers — the set for portraits

A successful face rarely comes down to one shade: it comes down to three or four close shades blended together. This set of 36 Ohuhu skin tone alcohol markers covers the full spectrum of skin tones — ivories, beiges, peaches, caramels, browns, ebonies — with the light and dark values you need for shadows and highlights.

Why a dedicated skin tone set

In a general palette, skin tones are represented by a few isolated references, too far apart to blend. Here, the shades are deliberately close together: exactly what you need to model a face with no visible edges.

Building a complexion in three values

Lay the mid tone over the whole area, add the dark value in the hollows (side of the nose, under the jaw, eye sockets) while the ink is still wet, then blend with the light shade or the included colourless blender. The brush tip handles cheeks, forehead and neck; the fine tip takes care of lips, eyelids and eyebrows.

A realistic finish on every kind of drawing

Realistic portraits, character illustration, manga, character design, figurative adult colouring. For the catchlights in the eyes and final highlights, Languo 0.6 mm gel pens add the white dot a marker can't. For hair, clothing and backgrounds, this set naturally pairs with the 320-colour set.
