Good job but I have a question: How do you decide on skin color? Many shots appears to be 'funeral makeup" on the faces. by that I mean kinda waxy looking and not quite flesh. How do you know if they weren't olive color or tanned?

Not complaining, just curious.

The natural gray shading helps me decide. I have around 15~ different skin color codes that helps me land the perfect shading, I then add red blue & yellow to taste to the face, some brown to the areas that are hit by shadow (chin/eyesocket), etc, and then tune it with hue, levels, and saturation.
