Very helpful video! I am primarily a pastel artist and have had terrible results with the so-called flesh colored pastel pencils. I am going to use your method from now on. Thank you so much for posting!

.. I'm a really bad artist... so I'd really like to know how to draw a decent side and front profile of a face... even just some sketching assistance would help... I'm so clueless. XD

oic thanks a bunch, i always had a trouble with that because i either add to much yellow or to much brown and it'll throw off my primacolor pencil color scale out of proportion, thanks for replying and for the info.

I use the same colors - but very lightly and mix them more with white. This is definitely another case where you have to build the tone slowly so you don't get caught with so much white that you can't recover.
I might still use a little "artistic license" so to speak to create interest in a piece as needed -- for example, if the picture was a bit washed out, then I'll take some liberties in adding a bit more color to portions of it to create a bit more contrast and interest. Did this help?

loved the tut but i have a question, what if you have an extremely light skinned person like Christina aguilera(w/o tan) for instance what colors would you and could you use for a tone such as that?

Yeah exactly jinzodude... I almost screwed myself up in the next portrait I'm going to upload because I laid down some undertones a little too heavy. I have to continually remind myself not to jump the gun and to build slowly.

Cool cool... Also I didn't get into further along detail in this video, but I will throw in a bit of yellow and green depending on the specific picture I am working from. It really just depends on what I can pull out from the portrait I'm doing. I am so glad this helped you out - thanks for the nice feedback :)

You are awesome sauce (and hope you are equally happy with your pic that I'm going to upload in a bit here). As for the shade of brown.. hmm... my pastel pencil set doesn't attach names to the shades, but I will call it just a standard dark brown. I worry more about specific shades as I get a little further into the picture, as long as I have the right general "flavor" of color as a base (so to speak) to map from then that seems to work well enough for me so far. Hope that helped. |
