Donāt go by anything I say, thatās just how I do it. I sometimes use all 3 primary washes, sometimes not. Usually at least a blue or even a sap green or umber wash at the very end depending on the skin tone Iām trying to correct or just to bring it all together. I just go kit by kit and basically try everything. I could never do a tutorial

I do one round the primary and then do mottling , creasing and veins and then more of the primary colors and sometimes throw in a lavender color. I just keep on till I am satisfied.

I do. Iām just curious if you donāt use the washes on your hands and feet how are you getting colour on them?
I guess I should have said, do you guys put the yellow on them. Thats actually the only color I omit. It always turns the hands and feet an ugly color. Idk guess itās just me 
If you only use red and blue donāt you just get purple hands and feet? Itās the combination of the three colors that creates a flesh tone.
No, because those arenāt the only colors I use. I just donāt do yellow on palms and soles when Iām doing the primary colors for āfleshā. I guess Iām not saying it right.
I have heard of mixing all 3 primary colors together and using that as the flesh color but Iāve not tried it myself ~ I donāt usually use flesh, just a lot of different colored mottles and washes. Itās so interesting how everyone has their own way of reborning!

ALWAYS BAKE BETWEEN COLORS.
I am not very subtle.
Seriously, you will get a muddy baby if you donāt. When you mottle you are getting color in all different places, then you bake and the next layer goes in all different places but a few places the same. That is what creates the depth, if you do it all at once they mix together in the same place and will look a bit dirty, in my opinion.
Evaluate after each layer, get a feel for what it needs, color correct along the way.
I still GHSP paint hair , no sure why, just use to it I guess.

How many bakes does it take for you to finish initial skin tones and mottle?

I order mine online from either D!ckblick or Jerryās Artsarama, depending on who is having a sale. Itās actually a lot cheaper than what I found locally.
Last time I ordered this humongous container of it, which made it even cheaper. I just dump it in my smaller squeeze bottle as needed. As you can see, I love this stuff!

It varies, I usually do one or two prime layers depending on color of sculpt, BB pale sculpts are a perfect canvas. MacPhersons has some kits poured in this kinda grey-pink soft vinyl from Spain that just love being painted.
Then I start doing all my creasing and shading, primary layers, color correcting. Deepen skin tone do a couple more primary layers, re crease, blush, do all the details then nails last I paint hair, then I seal it up, gloss the glossy bits (then root if I need to and do lashes). I always bake after each layer.
If I do a deep brown baby I might do about 8 more layers at least. I am not super confident going thicker with browns, if I try to go too fast I get a dirty looking baby. I usually have a niece or nephew to compare skin tone to. I always tend to go a little too yellow because I have a lot of yellow in my skin.
I have a hard time with older peachy sculpts it can go super well or go south in a minute and look grey, no coming back from a grey baby.
Circus babies get another round of paint on top of all that (above) , usually three or four layers to build up white.
That is probably more than you asked for, forgive me I have had more tea than I should have late in the day.
