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.

[@rosavaldes2599]

Thank you Jennie French, for the tip because I too have arthritis and sometimes I wish I could do more hours and days of art but I have to rest wrist and hands bec if not I cannot workout which I love too:)

[@CuriosityRocks]

Using brush markers as a base can really help and looks really effective

Thank you Kirsty. I have been using brown and black for my portraits so far. This tutorial seems to work.

[@hunarsethia5358]

I swear from last few days I was looking for a good skin tone tutorial within normal supplies and I found it! thankyou so much

[@stewartnelson52gmail]

Hi hunar how are you doing?

[@sculptor210]

Kirsty, I followed your examples a few nights ago and swatched my polychromos and prismacolors. Took a bit to get the hang of it, but I was amazed at how I was able to create these varied skin tones with just 5 pencils. Thank you so much for your videos. I feel confident enough to tackle my first portrait! 💕

[@judyplumley8080]

Thank you so much! I have been a portrait artist for nearly 40 yrs and never knew this until now.

[@rosavaldes2599]

thank you Kirsty, you are amazing; ignore the thumb dones bec I cannot understand those negative downs; your work and explanations are always fantastic.

[@stewartnelson52gmail]

Hi Rosa how are you doing?

[@CarlyUTube]

WOW! You really worked wonders with those few colors. I for sure don’t have the skills and talent you possess but I am so motivated to put what you showed to a test. 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.

[@ashhawkins3641]

Of all the KZbin videos I've watched on shading skin tones yours is the best one I've seen by a long shot...this is exactly what I needed

[@JoongJoongJoongie]

I haven’t comment but I want to say thank you for your videos. I stopped drawing when i reached college because of the hectic schedules. Then during work I came across your watercolor videos and picked up my own watercolor for the first time. And i fell in love with it. I started drawing again until now and try out different mediums and learning from your tutorials and color pencil academy. Hope you have a good day Kirsty!

[@Claycat4]

Thank you for this great tutorial, Kirsty! I always thought there was a small amount of blue in some skin tones. Some nordic blondes almost seem to have translucent skin that shows more blue.

[@princessharbnger2186]

ya i believe its best to use red yellow blue and brown

Right, I have neon white skin. I really pop out on a beach 😂

[@Icetalon02]

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

[@Stroggoii]

Use a light layer of teal around the mouth, in the neck and collarbone.

Hey Kirsty thank you so much for the free guide. I don't use colored pencils often but I guess this can applied when using other media.

[@manojmeena-sw7dy]

How sweet is your voice and you're a perfectionist.

[@earthkindsanctuary]

I subscribed to the legacy classes last night such a great idea to group all the videos and provide them for sale in easy to follow format as you embark on your new courses. It lets people try out lots of different medias but its also really good for people like me who are good at mostly self -led learning who don't neccessarily need all the tutored support.

Hi Kirsty, thanks for this new video! I've bought your drawing courses last year, they're amazing!! I've learned so much from you, so thank you very much! 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!

I try to work with dry medium, ans use mostly pen and color pencils, pastel pencils, compressed charcoal etc. I find the tips and tricks u share in ur videos very useful. and actually for art, your channel is probably the thrird channel --in my four years of my creating art period--, from where I actually benefitted. Honestly, u deserve a thanks from me. Am grateful to your channel. thank u Kirsty. thank u very much. *I mainly am a poet, but I do Poetry sometimes with lines, forms and colors(for doing that, the more I tried to elaborate the more it felt my lack of some basics. so I had to start practicing anatomy and color wheel and all the A B C s as a beginner for that. I started doing this from late 2017...hence I mentioned the four years span.. cause I ad to rely on utube for a lot of things that I know now and use regularly in my art.
