Okay, herein lies my confusion. The size of your palette in pastels vs. the use of cool/warm shadows. By this I mean, do you make a shadow purple/green based on temp of lighting or do you pick the darker version of the "local" color of skin color?

So if I am using RE 14 (general flesh in Unicolor) should I use a purple/green for shadows or RE 19? They are providing us the full palette, but should we use them? Please ask me to clarify if this question doesn't make sense to you - it has been a quest for understanding for me.

Side note - Lon I wish you could start a thread about your courtroom drawing - I often wonder if folks here know of your special talent? I think I told you how much I loved the class I took in an actual court setting - I loved catching the drama!
