Elderscroller, thank you for the helpful comment. Really good advices, I will definitely try those things!
About the skin colors, what are these '3 color zones'? For the last girl I looked at a portrait by loish and tried to make the same colors (not pick them) and understand why she used them. But it really confused me that she uses this desaturated yellow (as on the jaw).. why is that? ( http://loish.deviantart.com/art/portraits-439779182 )

And I have one probably very dumb question, if anyone is willing to answer - if I paint something yellow with slightly warm light source, then the shadow is cold. BUT is that a color going from yellow towards red or towards green? Because yellow is exactly across blue and it's really really confusing...



here's a very quick self portrait on my new paper. I've always wanted to try brown.
however, I should buy white pencil, because I kinda screwed it up with that pen..
