Sta.sh
To learn this, I would take a professional painting into photoshop, and then drag my eyedroppper tool around the skin. As I did this I would have the color picker window open, and I would watch as the colors became grayer in some areas, and much more saturated in others (for instance, a cheek appears much more gray compared to an area that has a reflected shadow on it.
some good paintings to do this with would be something like this, [link] by Craig Mullins and this, [link] by Dice Tsutsumi
For practice, I used to color Disney coloring book pages in photoshop, using the skin colors from a painting like the two examples I showed you. I would try to do it on my own, but if I didn't know what sort of saturation to use, I would take it from the painting directly, and have an "a-hah!" moment. After doing this enough times, it started to make sense to me, and this is how I began to learned.
for example, heres one i did: [link], and I took the colors from this painting, [link].
I hope this helps somewhat!!!
