No, just pour a little of the base flesh color you are using into a separate cup or container then add a drop or 2 of red or brown into that 2nd cup so you have a whole new color that you can use just for shading. After it dries, mist it lightly with the original flesh base color to blend it in more naturally. Be sure to seal it with dullcote in between coats.

When shading with chalks keep in mind most colors will need to be built up to even be noticeable.

Now, pastel work has nearly replaced my airbrush for shading and detailing. I get a pack of 48 various color sticks for $5.00 so it's well worth experimenting with them. Good luck

i so agree!!..i use chalk pastels also pan pastels these pastels our kind of pricey but you just tap your brush in the pan cup it comes in..and david fisher dvd is amazing it covers alot!

I've recently discovered Freestyle's Transparent Bright Flesh, which when sprayed at a very low PSI gives GREAT shading.

i found a nice base coat for flesh it was by delta ceramacote called medium flesh...then i would add some white to it for a lighter shade for highlights then my pastel work..like a raw sienna or umber depending if the character is a male or female..then again it is better to mix up your own flesh tone base
