This is a basic tutorial that I made 2 years ago.
This is my first colored pencil tutorial for Prismacolor brand pencils.

You will need:
Prismacolor colored pencils

Questions already asked:

Where can I buy a light table?

Any craft store or professional art supply store (like Jo-Ann Fabrics) or search Google.com to find all kinds.

Are Derwent pencils like Prismacolor?

I have no idea. I've never used that brand before, sorry.

What colors are used in the hair?

Crimson Lake, Crimson Red, Goldenrod and Burnt Ochre

Does the light table shine bright enough to see through something thick like Bristol?

Yes, you should be able to see your art under the Bristol paper, but it won't be as bold due to the thickness.

Where can I find colorless blending pencils?

Any craft store, like Jo-Ann Fabrics.
