These are very vibrant colors and I love them, they are not really what I would call skin tones however, unfortunately I can't attach a photo to this post and the pencils don't have color names but there is a white, a buttery color a cream color, an ochre. a tan, a chocolate brown and a dark brown the rest are rainbow hues, I would google images of what's inside the tin to give you a better idea!

I bought this set and am very satisfied with the quality. I am working on a portrait with great results! I belong to a couple of colored pencil groups on Facebook and a lot of them use and love this brand. It's truly a personal opinion. Buy a smaller set if your unsure. I'm betting you'll be back for the large set!

Yes. The color they show. I wouldn't recommend painting any hair like this, just buy the color. Yes. And They are the perfect amount to not be noticed.

Yes! I would recommend this shade! I had the same problem & skintone and I am lucky that I choose SX5! Any colour-adaptations can then easily be made with your powder

I think it works grea on any skin tone. The colores are so pigmented that they will surely work on any skin tone.

The system comes with Medium toned colors: About 8 of them. The lightest of them, "sand," perfectly matched my light skin (iris and Red faced). The darkest "moca," could easily match a darker skin color reminiscent of Indian heritage.

Yes, but you should know I am not a very good artist. However, these are the pencils the really good artists use in the colored pencil club to draw and do shading.

Yes all the pieces come in the right colors, the only thing you would need to do is paint with black panel marker the figures in the yellow part of the shoulders.

I don't think a ton of color..maybe it depends on the person. Myself, I think that having a base tan, you will do much better than someone who's just starting out. I didn't experience deep dark color with it even with a base tan. But while I do like this lotion, I think that Swedish Beauty's Intensifier did a much better job for me by itself.

I'm not a pro, but I've always known folks who work with portraits to start with charcoal, then sketch pencils. Colors? I'm not sure. Why don't you Google: How to draw or shade sketched portraits? Start there.

The inktense hues are too bright, there are no flesh tones per say. But if you water it down a lot, I bet you could create some by mixing the colors provided but they are really bright.

I have only good things to say about these backgrounds. I have used them for many portraits and they look great. I did find that you have to pay attention to the size of inserted image with respect to the objects in the background. I also found their instructions clearer and easier to understand the the ones in the Photoshop manual.

We have a grey set, and it looks really good with that. I can not think of a reason why black would not look good as well.

Not at all. Everything is really sturdy. The only thing I noticed is that you HAVE to use the shadows with a primer to get the true color. Some of the shadow colors have a different undertone than what you see when you get it on the skin.

I used it on a graphite drawing on cotton and it worked well. Apply in even strokes and use 2-3 coats for best coverage.

Hi Gordon, I use most of the colors. I originally bought about 60 of the colored pencils, and perhaps due to my inexperience with blending, I wasn't really able to get exactly the colors I wanted. So I ended up buying the 150 count set. I'm absolutely in love with it. So far I've had every color I've needed and am very happy with the set! :) I can't say for sure if you will use all 150 pencils, but I definitely would recommend this set to any friend. Good luck! :)
