Skin Tones
Here are some handy photo references I found for writers and artists looking to describe or term different skin tones! I thought simply putting the pictures here rather than linking to the original page would get it more looks, but all credit goes to the original creator, joshroby, and you can find the original page [here] with bigger and betters views of the photos. Happy writing!

COPIC MARKER GIVEAWAY
Alright, so I bought all these Copics when I was in Japan years ago and have never, ever used them, so I thought someone else could treat them better.
All the Cool Greys (C0-C8) are Broad and Fine, and just about all the rest are Copic Sketch. You can see from the picture there’s a good range of color. I picked them all out according to a marker guide to get the most bang for my buck. There’s also two colorless blenders in there which are very slightly used. Case / box isn’t included. Altogether there are about 90-95 markers (they were hard to count in just like this and I’m not taking the time to count exactly. count the photo if you want.)
LIKE OR REBLOG THIS UNTIL JUNE 15TH FOR A CHANCE TO WIN. No follow necessary.
a note on shipping: I’m in the USA, if the cost is manageable (under $20) to outside the US, I’ll do my best to cover it, but if it’s a high cost, I might ask you to kick me a few $ to cover it. we’ll see.
