I highly recommend this book to portrait artists and aspiring artists who paint portraits occasionally. This is a very comprehensive guide to most known skin tones, the sort of book that you use all the time while learning the various color mixes and then as you become gradually less and less reliant , the additional pages with the facial features explained and colors given moves this book into an artists reference book for the future I think its money well spent.
