How do you make skin tone with colored pencils?

Answer 1

I suggest you get a flesh tone pencil, Though you could always try making one through yellow, orange, pink and brown, but that can be difficult. Even if you have flesh toned pencils, It can sometimes be worth having those around, as accents and blushes.

Another Suggestion
The process is a bit time consuming, but ultimately worth the effort. First observe closely the colour of your subject's skin.
For lighter colours ( blondes)I start with a very light base of light purple, then in the areas of shadow I add a touch of pale green, Blend this completely then add a light layer of peach, blend again. In the areas of shadow use terra cotta and more light green, continue blending and adding more colour. Adjust with the light purple and terra cotta for warmer tones, with greens for cooler tones. Your highlights will be light yellows and peaches your shadows need greens and blues. Don't forget that colours around your subject (found in clothing etc) will reflect onto the skin. Work slow and blend well for the best results.
For medium toned skin ( brown hair) start with purple and olive green, add peach and terra cotta, highlight with medium yellow, shadow with olive green and brown.
For dark toned skin (black hair and eyes) start with purple and olive green, add terra cotta and brown. Highlight with yellow and shadow with green and brown.

Answer 2

To achieve a fade, start by practicing on a blank piece of paper, you will need to master the technique first, as it is the only way to gauge how much distance the colour will travel. Better to become familiar with a technique elsewhere than risk ruining a piece you have been working on.

To fade a single colour out to white - start with an intense application of your colour (at the center of your page) and as you more away from the center apply less and less pressure on your pencil until you are just barely touching the surface of the ground (paper).

Using a stump of other blending tool, draw out from the center (or most intense colour) toward the blank ground. You will be drawing the stump past the edge of the area you have coloured. Continue doing this over the entire area until the colour is no longer transferred from the stump to the ground. This should result in a good fade from colour to white.

To fade one colour into another, once again practice on a blank piece of paper (in a horizontal or landscape orientation). Place a circle of one colour on the left and one on the right.

If you are fading two primary colours together start very small. Following the instructions above work outward, decreasing the pressure on your pencil as you go. You will want to bring each colour past the center line, in such a manner as to have the two primary colours overlapping in the middle of the page.

When you start using your blending tool remember to use a different one for each colour as you do not want to "muddy" one with the other. Continue pulling colour toward the center of the page and then using a third blending tool, merge the two colours.

Answer 4

You'd either have to buy a tan colored pencil, or color blend. You could try mixing light brown, white, and maybe a light peach or pink color if it's for a face. And if you have some pretty good pencils, a cream color would work really well too.
