Since this was my first time using Prismacolor Premier pencils (72 set), I wanted to share with you my approach to colouring skin using a different brand of coloured pencils and give you my opinions and tips. I'd say this video is more of an experiment rather than a tutorial.
I apologise as I previously promised to make a tutorial for five different skin tones but I wasn't too pleased with how it turned out. Therefore, I have chosen to make this video into a speed drawing for only two skin tones that I haven't done before.
I’d love to know what you liked/disliked about the video! Leave your comments below, so I can see what to improve on and create better content in future. Thank you!

I feel like it’s so necessary for portrait artist to know how to render light and dark skin tones. You did amazing sweetie ✨✨ 👩🏼👩🏽👩🏾👩🏿

[@GenineLabis]

Black Mermaid thank you so much for your kind comment! 💓⭐️✨

[@SuperXrunner]

It seems like most of them cant Even if they are great at rendering 'white' skin tones, they get lost on browns and darker shades

[@laiah.chinelle]

Absolutely love this and as a young artist I really like to see this kind of diversity in art thank u☺️🦕

[@GenineLabis]

Imlaiah 7 aw I really appreciate your comment, thank you!! 🐳✨

[@waheda_9]

I think this was actually the most helpful skin tone video I’ve come across, you do it in a quick pace where I can still see what’s happening and it’s really helpful for a beginner. 😂💖

[@CreativeWan]

Please Please Pease do more BROWN skin tone videos! The world needs more varying Brown/Ethnic skin colored pencil videos of all brown shades like what you're doing here. Don't worry about the aesthetics, your portrait drawings are Great and your talent cannot be denied! I see you as an artist who is able to do Any skin tone she chooses, and the world Needs more rainbow BROWN Skin Colored Pencil Videos (like yours). This video made me sub to you!

[@No-kc5fy]

Your inaccurate sketch is better than my whole life😂😂😂 loved it! U did amazing, phenomenal, fantastic, extraordinary, brilliant... and more! Edit: I liked my own comment coz no one else would...

[@ABIXWEEZY]

I liked it

[@disknee3475]

Portrait queen is back.😂😂😂

[@GenineLabis]

Jarell Carr 😂😂 aha thanks for the awesome greeting! Glad to be back.

[@makinstuff9899]

Jarell Carr for a second I thought you said “black” and I was about to step up but then I reread it to look for grammar corrects to complain about and noticed you actually said “back”🤩

[@katie5936_]

Thank you so much for including dark skin. Your work is beautiful 🔥💜✨

[@animeg2steele188]

The last one was SOOO!!! Beautiful!!!😘😍😍

[@jeonparkjikook9633]

ANIME G2 steele Yes 🙈💖!~

[@marleneaugusta5396]

Even tho I don't use colored pencils, that was important to kind of know better how skin tones work.

[@GenineLabis]

Marlene Augusta I hope this helped in some way! I too am still learning :)

[@avahannah1790]

The smoothness on the skin went from 0 to 100 real fast

[@cg2127]

That darker skin color was so stunning and realistic to me 😍 This video was very helpful

[@jermainewashington3455]

Unbelievable talent!

[@jazbriu]

This is just.... AHHH I HAVE NO WORDS!!! 😍😍😍

[@nicollifarias6600]

the second one is absolutely flawless, you're so talented ❤

[@dextergoffney9300]

I enjoy the way you work on portraits

[@irinaungureanu5981]

This is the closest to my heart skin tutorial. I relate to it very well, thank you so much for it😍 i play the tutorial in lower speed, so i can understand where you add the different colors, and I find incredibly useful, or better said enlightening, the written notes in the movie! I think I recomended this skin tutorial a few times already😁💕

[@rasheedahdeshayrichardson8995]

Wow😍 I am very much a beginner and don't even consider myself a hyper realistic artist but I so badly want to color skin better Thanks for sharing! I do have a question though Does it matter which color you start with first in your set of colors for the base?

[@genemclabs9338]

Wow you are amazing Genine and I am so proud of you. Once again a very fantastic tutorials!

[@GenineLabis]

Gene McLabs thank you! 😁

Beautiful!!

[@GenineLabis]

Marlene Augusta thank you!! 💫

[@LoveInTheCity]

I use an Artist glove or it’s called Fouling Glove which can be found on Amazon or EBay when coloring it helps with the fallout not smudging my picture/drawing

[@autreyarttree4618]

Just found your channel. Insanely impressed. Thank you for sharing your tallent and skills. Finally fealing inspired to pick up my colored pencils again.

Genine Labis you're welcome💕 (My like)💜

[@clirebrew2967]

This was so relaxing to watch 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@projectgenes1s]

Go girl!

[@artisticbeing260]

Can you next time tell us the exact Prismacolor pencils you used? Like the name of the color pencils so I wont have to look through my 150 collection just to get myself confused? XD

[@amaraaa3245]

I’ve missed your vids 😍

[@GenineLabis]

Amara aa aw that’s very sweet! ❤️

[@artifexmom3824]

Hello 👋🏻 I’m your newest fan☺️💕👍🏻 God bless and please keep safe always 🙏🏻

[@christianegreven7011]

wowww amazing. I still have lots of work to do to be succesfully

[@Eva-xf2zp]

Your work is gorgeous, but I was looking for something slower and that contained the color combos used. It's helpful to me to be able to follow along until I get the hang of it. I sure wish you would share your combos, and maybe consider doing a tutorial of these skin tones.

[@joan.ne.x._]

I love this❤

[@queenasiboje3855]

Love it

[@constanceserrano]

Pls post more we love your art❤️

[@GenineLabis]

constance serrano thank you, I’m glad to hear that! I’ll do my best to post more ☺️❤️

[@chiribear1382]

I found your channel today and I saw u didn’t post in a while but I still subscribed now I saw that you posted and I got so excited ! I love your channel!

[@GenineLabis]

Digital Bearlord thank you for subscribing and for sticking around, it means a lot! I apologise I don’t post often as I’ve been busy with assignments but I’ll do my best to post more ✨

[@clov3ra]

I love the art but honestly I disagree with the dust part as prismacolors are my personal favourite and aren’t waxy for me, but I guess it’s just personal preference 😌❤️

[@Bridge8898]

Amazing🤗🤗

[@darkerdoll]

Amazing job ! Could you provide the list of prismacolours that you hvae used please? Thank you so much

[@scall2704]

Amazinggg! Do you know what colors you used?

[@brittanymiller3396]

Is there anyway you can do a normal speed tutorial on the dark skin tone? You do amazing work and I struggle with skin tones especially dark skin tones. Also would be amazing if you could jot down all the colors you used

[@joan.ne.x._]

I'm planning on buying good quality drawing pencils, which brand would you recommend? I've been doing research but it's really hard to choose tbh

[@shahd.mohamed4773]

i want to know,too

[@afiiwakii7204]

Prismacolor premiere pencils are really good and creamy,for realism the faber castell polychromos are really good too especially for animals,hair things like that.Hope this helped

[@jojosaylor8996]

Derwent

[@bethanymcgonigle]

Amazing

[@gopikadas5092]

Can you plzz use your sound otherwise the text or drawing will be missed

[@TheAgigi3]

Thanks. It is hard to find dark skin portrait in coloured pencil.

[@gw7911]

I see now I’ve been doing 4 to maybe 6 undertones and never the very lighter ones and get confused when using pink or purple.

[@Miss_Nina.]

You're so talented! 😍 I love drawing ✏️I hope I can do this too when I'm older :D 💙 Love from a subscriber from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@trisl6993]

Great tutorial 👌🏻very beautiful i appreciate the words of inspiration! Have you tried the prismacolor colorless blender ? I seen this was 2 years old.

[@tadiwamatenda1698]

What could i do if i don't have a white pencil to blend everything in to make it look really realistic

[@rahrah7721]

You have to come back and show a video in real time, on color tone and skintone. You and some other guy is the best videos ive seen. But one problem. They're all in fast speed. Everyone are looking for this dark skintones you show. Please make a simple video coloring round or square balls with these skintones. Even better faces. Thanks to you ahead of time. Im subscribing now. Thanks 💜

[@Princess-dv7it]

Would’ve been nice if you mentioned the colour named!!!!!

[@yasmeenahmed1534]

Excuse me what is the name of the pencil you use to blend the colours ??

[@pianist8123]

*"Prisma color "* dude 😊

[@romarisrogers5084]

Exactly which set of prismacolored pencils did you use to create the dark skin tones of the last face? (Like the PC numbers)...I really want to create those same skin tones on a queen portrait I'm trying to work on here...your comment is greatly appreciated 🙏

[@dawnharwick3110]

I would love to know the colors you used on the dark skin? This is a fantastic tutorial by the way.

[@ertfgghhhh]

She said Dark brown Black Magenta White

[@mariaclaudia541]

The video is ok but it would be good to add the numbers or names of the pencils used. Being a speedy video sometimes is difficult to notice it.

[@len1045678]

You don't know how helpful this was for me.. one last thing.. can you please lable the colors u use?

[@mohammadmakhamreh7127]

[@amandahilleary2581]

[@franciscobermudez639]

Genine! Where is the first video😭😭😭😭😭 why?!?!?!

[@ijuanadraws]

And sorry for commenting so much, but I am a complete beginner and like I said before Everytime I try it doesn't work. It keeps coming out all ugly, I ruined one of my favorite sketches 😑. Can you please make a tutorial for beginners and please explain the importance of a base color,since I don't understand

[@venus6091]

[@StoneyGodly]

[@agrimamaheshwari2899]

[@AshleyGriffyn]

Agrima Maheshwari she’s using the set of 72

[@HeirTemptress.]

It would have been better if you told the colors you used

[@tiannamarie4419]

How long does this originally takes .

[@GenineLabis]

Tianna Marie originally, it took me 9 hours for the two in this video

[@bleachedwhite5067]

Genine Labis wow thats still considerably fast, you did amazing

[@LuCifer-cf2oo]

can you do a colouring skin tone tutorial using faber castell color pencil please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏btw you'r so talented 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@GenineLabis]

alian ki sure, I’ll make one when I get the chance! My faber castell 24 set pencils are too short to use now, hope to get a new set 😭😭🙏🏼 and aw thank you! 💓💓💓

[@LuCifer-cf2oo]

Genine Labis 😂😂😂you'r so sweet i'll be waiting for you💖💖💖💖💖

[@magnetischx3]

Are you using the biggest set of prismacolor or just 72 colors?

[@shekig2431]

magnetischx3 72

[@GenineLabis]

72 but I didn’t use all 72 colours, just a few

[@magnetischx3]

Genine Labis thanks for your reply. I though 72 is not enough for draw different skin tones.

[@vitoria67anosatras12]

Waaaaaaaaah como assin

[@khian8340]

Are u filipino?

[@franciscobermudez639]

Where is the white skin video?! I need it SM!!!!!😭

[@RealMelodyBlue]

It's not the fault of the pencil, it's the fault of the user, you're pressing too hard and not keeping a sharp pencil. Once you learn how to use the Prismacolors, that " dust" problem goes away.

[@nellymolina6653]

😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@andooctoso6255]

You are philipino

[@GenineLabis]

Ando Octoso yes, I have a Filipino ethnic background

[@bostonblackie9503]

Why speed up the video with no narration? Obviously you know what you are doing but people would learn a lot more is slowed down and you explained what you are doing.

[@GenineLabis]

Louisa Cooper thanks for your comment. I’m sorry to hear that you weren’t satisfied with the video. I’ll keep what you said in mind. FYI, if you had watched the video, you would have seen that I had written some explanations on the screen. And regarding the sped up video, the total duration of the drawing in real-time was roughly 17 hours which I’ve condensed down to 17 minutes (the best I could do). I just assumed that people wouldn’t want to sit through an achingly long video, so I sped it up quite a bit. Also, my computer can only handle so much.

[@bostonblackie9503]

@@GenineLabis I understand! There are some on KZbin who have the same video speeded up and also in real time. 17 hours is a lot they are usually less than 2 hours. If it is something I am really into I will watch the real time version. Thanks all the same for the video!

[@markolokoytv3030]

Are u a filipina?😂

[@allmightyisthelord9459]

Why do you don't speak

[@draw2night]

Nice work, excellent shading! Big like! New sub:)
