I want to do some drawing in Flash, but the colors they have arn’t very… Skin like? I was just wondering if there was a sight where I could download colors for skin… Or if there is a technique for it. ---

Search on google for like a skintone pallete it should give you little blocks of color then you can get the hex code for them as well. ---

if you find yourself a gif you can import that into your flash swatches and you’ll have all the tones in that image. ---

also, i think that when you only use one colour, it always looks a little weird simply because real skin isn’t monotone… so if your style of drawing includes shading, then it will look more natural once you get a few different colours i think. ---
