    My favorite skin tones were the darker ones, they really looked smooth. There is so much of a variety and colored pencils really capture nicely the tones. I do use Gamsol but on those top layers the white or lighter colors work nicely. Have you ever used a clear gesso on your paper since the colors ride on top anyways? I have found that I get a bit more ability to layer but the colors are more vibrant and it helps my wrist with arthritis.

I am going to use your printable to help me in my adult coloring books. I enjoy coloring people/ portraits the most and struggle to get the skin tones especially the darker ones to look the way I want. Thanks for the video and the free printable 💕 Plus, you have saved me money on buying a separate Skin tone pencil set for now anyway.

I was thinking about also enrolling in your new colored pencil academy, but I think you already gave me the skills I need in that previous course. However, everyone not enrolled in a course from you, should definitely book that colored pencil academy (or at least any of your courses!!) because it's really worth it!

    For the lighter skin tones could you also use the slightest amount of blue? Because for light cool toned skin sometimes you can kinda see the blue in their skin. I personally have cool toned skin and I was curious about whether or not using a little blue would look good or not. also shadows are sometimes purplish but it's dependant on some things, so would using like a light layer of purple look good? I don't have any coloured pencils personally so I'm a bit curious Thank you for this video! It was helpful :) I've been looking into getting coloured pencils cause I wanna add colour to my portraits but paint is still a bit intimidating
