Do you remember what colors you used for this particular face? I looooove this skin tone.
Thanks Landon! I tend to paint faces quite organically, rather than having a specific process… but my general method is to use something like the Andrea Color White Paint Set (which I think you’re familiar with 😉 to ‘sketch’ the face and highlights. Then I use GW washes – Reikland Fleshshade all over (two thin coats) Leviathan Purple around the eyes, Carroburg Crimson around the nose and mouth. I then just go back and forth with off-white highlights and those washes till I’m happy.
On this particular model I also used a dark brown oil wash, applied very thinly, for the stubble. I used a small brush moistened with thinner to soften and blur the edges.
Really inspiring army
I based my chapter on the raptors and your army was the deciding factor on my paint scheme!
I have one question, how do you get those smooth layers of yellow and white paint?
Cheers
Thanks, that’s great to hear!
For hand painting white, I use the Andrea Color White Paint Set. For the yellow I use Vallejo Model Color Goldbrown (base), Flat Yellow (layer), Golden Yellow (highlight) and then Citadel Reikland Fleshshade (wash).
Andrea also make a Yellow Paint Set, so it might be worth checking that out too!
Thank you for your reply!
I will check it out
