well depending on what skin color you want:

for white peopel use peach
for black people use brown
for hispanic people use light brown
for aisian use light light brown or tan

Answer 2

Mostly white with red (pink tones) and a bit of yellow (skin tone). Brown also helps neutralize the color. You can purchase nude skin tone pigments at any art store, but it's always a good thing to practice from scratch.

depend on the paper colour and tooth, cold press or hot press , watercolour paper, blending and the way you push the colour pencil . on a test sheet try put down cool first then the warm and is it a single person or many people and the environment and the amount of pressure you put (control) and angle ,sharp , round ,cut tip, sanded rub in. feather in, and other technique used.

Answer 4

for a relatively neatral caucasian color, start with a light yellow, top with lightly colored orange, and then a very fine layer of red. If you can, and if you want, add a white to the top. that's a very basic skin color. You can then use brown as a shading color.
