I’ve been watching a lot of skin tone videos lately and this is a good one. I have found the color combinations are worth studying while I trash my own minis. . I thought you airbrushed that skin when I first saw it. I may have to break down and build a wet pallet for my future projects. I like the use of the green hair too as it serves to tone down the reddish hues without interfering with the paint directly.
Glad you liked it! The wet pallet is really great for helping with the paints. It also naturally thins them a little so it's better paint consistency for miniatures. I try to stay away from the airbrush for tutorials since not everyone has them, but with a bust, it could be pretty easy to speed up the process. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! I always try to use larger figures so it's easier to see on camera. The figure is a 3D print from White Werewolf Tavern. They have a ton of great busts.

Hi, I'm a total beginner and I very appreciate your tutorial video. The question I'm always asking to me is why do we use the base coat (medium rust) as we cover it totally with the next coat ? Many thanks for this great video
Great question. That threw me off for a while when I was first starting too. While it looks like it's totally covered, it isn't. It shows in all the under parts and deepest recesses. While hard to see on film, if you lift the model up, you'll see mostly the rust color when looking at the bottom of the arm/hand, chin, between the fingers and places like that. For more dramatic lighting, you can keep even more of that shadow color showing. Also, since acrylic paints are translucent (you can see through a coat of it) the darker color on the bottom gives the figure more vibrancy and depth as you add more layers on top. I go into more detail on it in my layering video: th-cam.com/video/3-DWxMd_h-0/w-d-xo.html I hope that helps, but please let me know if you have any more questions and thank you for watching!

Super cool
Thank you very much!
Its great to see this process on a larger figure-thank you this is really helpful. I might have missed it, but what bust is this?
