You might try using a gray pencil first in the areas around the body which are darker pink. I would then gently blend the gray and then layer the layers of pink. Doing this helps with the darker shades which you can refine as you normally do.
This project is a tutorial over on my Patreon and Art Membership site. It’s aimed at those who are very new to coloured pencils using budget pencils and budget paper so we are keeping it simple. 🥰
I find that a Hot Pressed watercolour paper has a nice amount of texture to be able to apply lots of layers and still add plenty of details where needed. I usually use Fabriano Artistico Hot Press Watercolour paper but I will also use Clairefontaine Pastelmat and Drafting Film for coloured pencil work too. The Arteza pencils are okay for a budget set of pencils. I wouldn't swap my Faber Castell, Caran D'Ache or Derwent pencils for them but as a budget set of pencils I found them to be quite nice to work with and produced some nice results on the softer surfaced hot press paper like the Bockingford paper that I used in this video. Hope this helps! :)
I have Arches HP paper but haven’t done a drawing with the Arteza pencils on it. I’ve just tested a couple of the pencils from the set on a piece of the paper and yes, I think they would work fine. They blended well. Hope this helps!

Why do you use watercolour paper to use coloured pencils and are arteza colour any good
