Quick and easy skin tutorial

Recommended Posts

Hi there, I had 15 mins to kill so I thought I might as well do this tutorial for my quick method of doing skin on faces.

So I have spent the past 15 minutes painting and taking pics (crappy pics :P ) and I now present the results here.

I did have help from a hairdryer ;)

Things you will need:

Brushes (obviously :P )

The head/face you want to paint.

Tallarn Flesh (or equivalent)

Dheneb Stone (or equivalent)

Army Painter Soft Tone (though Gryphonne/Seraphim Sepia should do the job)

Step One: Undercoat Your Head/Face

I used Black Gesso, It doesn't obscure the detail. Use what ever primer you prefer.

Step Two: Basecoat your Head/Face

Two coats of Tallarn Flesh (mixed with approx 50% water), just make sure its a smooth coat.

Step Three: Lighten up

Paint all the raised areas (chin, lips upper & lower, cheekbones, jawline, nose and forehead) with Deneb Stone....straight from the pot! But make sure your brush is damp (I lick mine :sick: )

Step Four: The Hardest Part...

Paint the whole Face/Head with your Sepia/Soft Tone Wash, one or two coats will do.

And thats it ;)

Try it out, change the wash to achieve different effects, change the basecoat to brown and the highlight to ochre/fleshtone and use a darker wash (Devlan/Strong Tone) for darker skin.
