How to Mix SKIN TONES using PASTEL Sticks & Pencils | Portrait Study... Narrated Tutorial.

Pastel Portrait Tutorial. It can be difficult to use Pastel sticks for skin tones... here is my approach blending the subtleties over the stick layer using Pastel pencils to achieve realistic transition from dark to light skin tones and creating the correct value, chroma and edges that makes up the overall effect. This is a request from a few of my Patreon's so here is the short version. The Long version for Patreon will be on there middle of July 2023.

Here is a list of Caran d ache rich pastel pencils colours I usually use: numbers...

Primary colours...
Reds... 788-060, 080
Yellows... 788- 240, 530, 035
Blue... 788- 145
Orange 788-052
Purple 788-099
Green 788-719

Carbothello pencils are... green 1400/585, red... 305, orange, 221, lemon yellow 205, yellow ochre 685 and white 100. I don't use this brand's blues as some of the lightfastness is poor. so I use Conti a Paris ones for them,... No10, No 06, No 22 and No46. Also the purple red for the deep shadows ... No19

If you can afford it I would recommend buying the sets as the extra colours would be very useful for clothes and backgrounds and can work out cheaper per pencil... affiliate links below.
