Skin Tutorial

Painting Realisic Flesh Tones Tutorial

Talk about showing skin
                 In this tutorial i will show you all how to use Ink to paint realistic skin.
But before that remember three things, Have a plan, Be prepared, Have fun.
Lets begin. 

I started before hand with a reference image:

 Castaway, perfect example of realistic flesh tones, But we want this in a more warm light
So i brought out the colour wheel to  show what warm colours are, luckily my small arsenal of 13 paints provided.

 We are now ready to begin, i base-coated the miniature head in these colours;

 The result was smooth but not thick, i did this by 2 watery coats, water is very important in this process as inks can be quite strong.

We are now ready to apply the first coat of ink.

 I used these colours.

 

When mixed i diluted them with water until they where the about consistency of the middle example:


 

Now we can begin applying to the head of the miniature, in this case it was a scrap flagellant

When dried it looked great, Smooth

Now we add some red to the formula.

 It can really add to the life of the skin, and the warmth. ironically i painted this in warm colours, when i myself much prefer the cold weather, coldness builds capillaries.

and to add more depth to the flesh i mixed in some black, it should look like coffee.

 Now you can leave it here, or do the next step.

Optional: i lightened up the skin in some areas.

 This step is a real crap shoot, if you mess up you can ruin the skin.

 Using this tchnique you can paint much more than the usual skin tone.

*Make sure to thin your paints

*Stay Brutal

Big Monsters And Little Mistakes

Big Monsters And Little Mistakes

 HEYO this is the finished khorgorath for my contribution me and my friends khorne army.

 In my hobby years, i have always wanted to try new things, not just painting techniques and mediums but miniatures themselves, i want to paint like Jarhead, or Ben Komets. and to do this i need practice.
To demonstrate i painted these as another part of the army but decided to point out the mistakes.

Gore Tide Is Coming, not too soon, but coming.

its about time i posted here. Now how about an advertisement.
Its time this place had a fresh theme; of blood.
Nurgle has been put on hold, Tzeentch has yet to bless this blog and slaanesh is quietly lurking.

Let blood wash over the chaos of my busy schedule!
