The Ratio's aren't quite a science. However adding Vallejloo Game Color 72.042 Parasite Brown to a mix of Game Color 72.100 rosy flesh made a very nice base for an oriental skin tone. Using my wet pallet to keep the paint nice and dry I covered the face with about 2 coats and then washed with Citadel Reikland FleshShade. I covered the face a bit more on the raised areas with the base color. Finishing with a final highlight of Game Color 72.003 Pale Flesh added to the base color.
Whenever i'm painting skin I make sure to use a wet palette. Last thing you need is the paint starting to dry before you're finished glazing the color on.
(related note: I paint the eyes after the skin. I know a lot of artists prefer to paint them first because they're difficult but with the kolinsky hair brushes I haven't had much issue.)
Here's another example using the yu jing monks. (The casts on the heads where hit or miss. Two came out okay and the others came out poorly.)
