Do one more pass cause I'm OCD about it and let dry. Green for example, olive green for dark (4-6 drops in an ink cap, fill with water) and a bright chartreuse green for the light tone (4 drops as this one is rather opaque, water) and I'll make a mix to get the midtone (3 drops chartreuse, 2 olive, water to fill) I paint the olive everywhere it's needed on the sheet, let it dry. With most colors I use a dark tone and a light tone, mix them together to get the midtone. Use acrylic ink if you have access to it, it doesn't react to water after it dries like water color does. Takes time and experimentation, but you'll get it.

Again, from the black all the way out to the skin break. Smooth blend on your black, smooth blend on your dark tone, smooth medium tone (coming from the black all the way out) and smooth blending of your lighter tone. I'm kinda drunk and hard to explain without seeing it, but just try it out. A smooth gradient should show no line of value change. Come back over the black and midtones to that open paper, and blend them light tones into the paper. Start with your dark tones and blend it out (blacks and other dark colors.) Then work your midtones over the black to a cereal fade out area. Every time you add pigment, you darken the canvas (skin in this case) so there's no way of making it a lighter tone. Skin tone last, but in flash is just the paper tone. Then a dark red, medium red, then the lighter red to finish it off. I'll try to remember to find it for you after the plague is done I know of a good DVD painting flash, but it's at the shop and we're shut down for coronavirus. The dry brush will pull the pigment across the paper and blend out. Use the water brush to smooth out the edge a bit, then dry it off and blend the edge again. Wet the paper first with water, using a water only brush (this will be your blender, so keep it clean) and lay down your color with another brush. Grab some arches and FW acrylic ink, other brands are fine but look for liquid acrylic ink. Tattoo ink always looks powdery or something to me, and will reactivate with water like watercolor paints. Acrylic paint is way different from acrylic ink (not as much pigment) and I would not recommend it for painting flash on paper. I like liquid acrylic ink because it acts like watercolor, but sets in place like acrylic. Ink is important too! Watercolor acts different from ink, which acts different from paint, which acts different from tattoo pigment.

Arches cold press paper holds water well and makes smooth blends, as opposed to canson paper which does not blend well and will pill up with too much water. It depends on what you're using, both paper and ink.
