        Sorry for my english, i m european.
        I have a polychromos FC set of 60 pencils, i want to buy another white pencil from caran d ache but shipping fees are high so i will buy also other colors Luminance or Pablo or FC not included in the 60 set (i want to buy other 10 /15 pencils), what coulors do you suggest me? I can t buy any prismacolors because in my country they cost almost as caran d ache and they are not easy to find.
        From various youtube videos i found some vague suggestion (if you don t have any ideas just tell my your favourite color)
        10% burnt ochre
        Light flesh
        Cream
        I m learning to draw Portraits, but i want also learn to draw architecture and animals.

            Hello there!

            Way back in 2016 there was a similar question and though my main interest are landscapes this thread may be helpful. It includes a full Luminance colour chart.

                    For portrait work I use Luminance, they are fabulous for skin! I use the following:

                    brown ochre 10%
                    brown ochre 50%
                    brown ochre (this is highest pigment of the three, same is true for all of the Luminance I am listing)

                    burnt sienna 10%
                    burnt sienna 50%
                    burnt sienna

                    burnt ochre 10%
                    burnt ochre 50%
                    burnt ochre

                    sienna 10%
                    sienna 50%
                    sienna

                    I also use some of the raw umbers occasionally, mostly the raw umber 10%

                    Hope this helps~:clap:
