Pastel Portrait Tips. This is a request from one of my Patreon's, she mentioned that she was having issues with them looking like Eliens eyes 😃... so I though I would share with you my techniques and tips with pastel pencils on how I draw a baby's eye and how to mix skin tones and to acheive a realistic result.

Blue... 788- 145
Orange 788-052

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.
