light (like Irish) skin pigment with only white, yellow, red, blue, green, brown, burnt sienna and dark umber in acrylic paints?

and how would you make a black or grey color with that too? because my ghetto ass paint set didnt come with a black.

oh man. it takes years to learn how to make the perfect skin tone. you'll have to do an undercoating of a reddish colour. add a little blue. steer clear of the warm colours, since you want pale skin. um, i don't really know. i did have this sheet that i got when i did painting last year or something, but i don't have it anymore.

I've taken 3 years of painting, I just cant remember shit for the life of me. and I need to make grey too because Im painting a hand holding a gun. I have a painting class this year, I just dont want to wait a semester to figure out how to do it.

whatever you do, don't use just black and white to make grey.

Well, It needs to be the color of a gun, so it needs to be grey or silver, because in the picture the gun is silver, but i dont want to use silver on a painting. I wonder do they sell skin pigment colors already made? and of course they sell black.

How would I make Grey if not using white and black?

can't you just use crayons?

they do sell skin like colours in a tube, but it would do you well to make it yourself.
grey has green, blue and other colours depending on the shade. black should be used very sparingly.

mostly white with a dash of burnt sienna.

Black is only going to be used to shade, which is why I want to make grey because if I can make it lighter and darker I can use it as shade on both the hands and the guns.
