I get a lot of use out of this one. Very good book for skin tones and the trouble of painting shadows on faces. Love that it includes so many skin tones, any ethnicity is now much easier with a reference for all tones as most internet resources on painting skin mostly only cover Caucasian faces. Some really good resource pages about warm and dark shadows on specific parts of the face. This book has made a difference in my painting, the shadows now look like shadows instead of just dirty skin. For me this is was a solid purchase that I still use regularly for reference years after purchase. My one complaint would be that it really takes some work to find the correct colors and there is some research to be done if using Windsor Newton show more Winton as the tube colors listed in this book are not universal. show less
