I don't think life drawing/painting ..or people is my area of strength.

But today nice to learn how to mix paint colour to achieve...real colour patches of skin tones. The entire art class was producing samples of various skin tones..the point was to mix colours to reach one's own skin tone. We each ended up with a sheet paper that looked like foundation makeup colour swatches.

So for some people ..from a painting colour mixing perspective, it's green, a crimson red, white, yellow and orange. Others with a whiter skin tone,,..might have more blue tone in the red/pinker part...

It was an excellent exercise...to understand different colours to make 1 particular type of skin tone for a painting.

I know my permanent skin tone has changed over the past 25 yrs. ..meaning my overall face skin has permanently become a tone darker.
