A quick face painting practice update





As I write in my profile, I did a lot of modelling as a kid. Back then the only techniques I know was dry brushing, washes, and a bit of airbrushing and that’s basically how I painted every thing…

During my 12 year break from modelling a lot has happened, especially with the research tools available these days, like the Internet!

Coming back to modelling I’ve discovered stuff like acrylics and basic modulation techniques, which I’ve never tried on faces before. Now I want to learn! This is a test I did on a 14 year old Verlinden figure.

Base colour: VC-876 Brown sand

Highlight: VC-876 with variable mixes of VC-815 Basic skin tone

Shadows: VC-876 with variable mixes of VC-814 Burnt Cadmium Red

Deepest shadows: VC-859 Cadmium Maroon

…and yes…I know the eyes and eyebrows suck!!! ;-) I’ll get to that later!
