Faber Castell Polychromos Colored Pencil Skin Tones

[@crafty_janaloser7212]

Thank you SOOOO much for making ALL of these videos for the skin tones. I have the fiber castle, prismatic color and am half way then to having all of the black widow color pencils. I am so thankful you made these videos! They are a huge help to me ( and I’m sure others) in the process of me teaching myself how to do color portraits. I was struggling with trying to find the right colors to blend together. You have been a HUGE help so THANK YOU 😊 have a wonderful blessed day :)

[@nicolawade9572]

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you Claire. These tones will be super useful for me, not only for skin but for a range of different textures such as wood or brick etc. I found the prismacolour blends really very helpful too. Many thanks.

[@susannebuchholz785]

Thank you very much for your tutorial because I prefer the Polychromos and last year I got the big box as a birthday present.Very good coloured pencils!✍🏻👏🏻

[@terrieblazek1834]

This was very helpful so I could gather all the skin colors together to make better choices when I do people, especially faces. Love your channel...!

[@rebornsnuzzles2573]

I haven't colored any faces in my current books because I felt quite intimidated. Thank you for this, and also for giving the full range of tones.

[@coolhandpaulnewman]

I like that your technique is different. Many people go light to dark and then burnish dark to light for a finish. I do the same thing you do for blending: going back and forth rather than little circular motions. However, everyone seems to agree that you need a sharp point on your pencil at all times. Just upgraded to Polychromos and I love them. Good fit for how I color.

[@Boobatz490]

Thank you for this series, these blends are going to be so helpful when I try to color people, this will take out so much of the guess work.

[@starbuck8925]

Another fabulous video Claire. Appreciate how well you make your tutorials, concise and easy to follow with great tips. Thank you again Claire! 💫

[@debbieelholm7921]

Thank you for the skin tone chart. I’ve been coloring with Copics longer than the Polys, so I tend to follow the Copic way: the lightest tone over the whole area, then add the medium color to start your shadows. Then add your darkest color where needed. The final step is to take the lightest color and cover the whole area again. It helps with the blends and makes it a smoother transition from one color to another, Just my humble opinion. I know everyone has their own way, but I thought I’d share this way.

[@Kirasparkles]

This is fantastic! I am going today to grab a few more colors, and this is super helpful. Your blends are amazing. Who cares how other people do it - the “rules” all had to come from somewhere, but no one said you have to follow them! 💜

[@Wendy520May]

Love your channel Claire. So many great tutorials. Thank you for all the time you put in for us. Great tutorial to start the new year !!

[@gokuson2590]

Thank you. I really appreciate this. I always have problem doing very dark skin. So now, I will be able to.

[@fionascott5492]

Thank you so much for doing this series ❤ I own all these sets but always end up using the same prismacolor skin combination. You are a treasure, I'm going to use your fabulous combinations 🥰

[@rstralberg]

Thanks for this nice tutorial. A little correction. The number for Ivory is 103 and not 105. The name of pen number 132 is “Beige red” and not “Light Flesh”

[@rhysspookycraftcorner]

Will definitely be giving these a go, thank you Claire! I've been using the same combos for skin for a while now, it will be nice to have a play with your combinations. And I'm grateful for the dark skin combos, as I've not been able to come up with one myself that I like 😊 xx

[@snoozebutton9996]

I actually love that you said the Polychromos blend like a Dream. Normally People tend to say the Opposite, but i always found them to blend seamlessly. But then again i use the same technique as you (dark to light in most cases and strokes instead of circles). Only Difference is i use no pressure at all, thus i spend more time on a blend. Might be giving your technique a try. :D Being fast and good would be fantastic. Btw, i use Dark Flesh as a Blush and Lip Colour if i want a natural Look. It's perfect for this.

[@jacintocorderosanmartin9016]

could you please tell me what colour should use, for skin tones, if do not have ivory. Thanks for your courtesy

[@maryriley6163]

This was great!Thanks so much for this tutorial on skin tones.😊

[@yasmitanaidoo2369]

Can you do skin tones using arrtx coloured pencils

[@EllaDiabola]

Claire, you are an absolute gem; you have no idea how helpful this is going to be to me! I've recently been trying to come up with new skintone ideas as, like you, I tend to use the same one all the time and it gets boring. And I could never get dark skin right, so I can't wait to give some of your combinations a go! Loving all your suggestions for all the different pencil brands so far. May I request the Artezas or Spectrum Noir Colourblends, as they are the only pencil sets I own that you haven't already covered? 😊 Thank you as always for your kind and thoughtful videos and for all the work you put into them; they really are appreciated by me and, I'm sure, each and every one of your subscribers ❤️🤗

[@ColourwithClaire]

Will definitely do Arteza next, so glad it's helping! X

[@EllaDiabola]

@@ColourwithClaire Thank you! Yes, it definitely is 😊

[@tabbylynn4130]

Love this series. I was wondering if you could use polys in an actual skin video? I’m having a hard time getting them smooth on skin.

[@ColourwithClaire]

Yes I will, the best I have using Polychtomos at the moment is this one but it's just a speed colouring kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXqmnoqHf6qYosU

[@katsmith8263]

Thank you very much

[@robynbroderick6822]

Thankyou Claire. This is a stunning tutorial. Thankyou for all your trouble.I am thinking of getting the Black Widow sets all five what are your thoughts. I have the Polys.❤️❤️❤️

[@ColourwithClaire]

Yes, or how about Arteza 120?

[@robynbroderick6822]

Good Idea Claire. Next on my list❤️❤️

[@mrs.cochrans8386]

appreciate your time to share your knowledge with us, God bless you. Just curious that I'm using the same pencils set of you but to me yours seems a little darkers than mines... maybe this is my monitor configs? idk I'll figure out. Thanks!

[@mrs.cochrans8386]

oh yeah and your 132 you named light flesh to me comes 132 named beige red or in german beigerot...

[@ColourwithClaire]

Yes Faber-Castell recently changed the flesh names xx

[@JaneDoe-cc8kp]

Dear Clair, thank you very much for your videos on skin tones, they are extremely useful and really help you to understand the general idea and just start doing it. What I wanted to ask is: have you got a video where you colour a portrait with Polychromoses? It would be really helpful to see how these blends and combos actually work.

[@ColourwithClaire]

I only have a speed colouring with Polychromos at the moment, I will try to do a proper one. X

[@JaneDoe-cc8kp]

@@ColourwithClaire that would be great! thank you!

[@paulineflannery3740]

Would you please consider Derwent Artist or Coloursoft skin tone list?

[@tammyhaught6585]

These colors are great for real skin but what would you use for like a fantasy skin tone such as a elf or fairy?

[@diniahnightshade1111]

Speaking as one who has this curse, what would be your suggestion for someone who is nearly ghost pale (zero suntone to skin lol) pale? The ivory and light flesh would be workable, but that cinnamon MIGHT be useful for adding freckles, but it's actually too dark for the shadows unless they are very very dark shadows. I've actually found a very very light touch of lavender in the shadows is closer to the actual skin colour. Any suggestions would be great

[@ColourwithClaire]

I would recommend ivory, light flesh and lavender - just leave the darker shadows out x

[@gooddollie]

Thanks so much for doing this skin tone videos!!!

What kind of paper did you use?

[@jocelynemontevrain]

Thank you for tour vidéo 😊

[@designerunlimited3378]

Typo error: first row should have 103 since you are using ivory

[@Adama___]

Hmm i dont know whether this is really helpful.. i mean how do i apply it on a face and body? Which color should i start first with? Do i just mix randomly? Still lots of questions.

[@ColourwithClaire]

I've done quite a few different skin tone tutorials where I colour a face step by step, these are combinations you can apply to those x
