I've been watching a lot of skin toning videos to try and improve my techniques. Just wanted to let you know this was a fantastic explanation and demonstration. Thank you.
I really should get myself a bust to try out painting something bigger. I can't help but think that many of the painting methods would be easier to wrap your head around using something bigger, then maybe it would be easier to bring the concepts down to 28mm and 32mm scales once you understand the interactions a bit better.
This has always been exactly my experience. Busts help you understand, then you just need to shrink.
Amazing
Very helpful. I will definetly try. Do you have any tips for female faces to make them more lively?
Cheers! I honestly don't change much when I paint female faces. If it suits the sculpt, I'll try to blend a little smoother, to keep things soft. Maybe highlight the nose a bit more to keep it looking more narrow... But it's all very contextual. No two faces are the same, so I tend to just play.
Using black or dark blue is ok for dark hair but what can i use for stubble for people with ginger hair or blonde?
Fair haired stubble doesn't really show strongly enough for it to make sense to be rendered at the scale we paint at. I'd the most I'd just make the skin look slightly paler in that part of the face.
Would a dark brown work better than a black/grey for mid brown hair? I've done a face on a bust but a bit nervous of having to do the stubble on it for the first time.
When it comes to brown hair the stubble tends to look almost the same as black hair, so I'd just do it the same way.
I have brown hair and a ginger beard, but my stubble starts off almost black when it first comes through.
Great tips presented in a very educational way. The only thing I would look out for is you have to keep in mind where the reference photo comes from. The man in the picture is lit in an almost perfect way and he's wearing make-up. That means that when you copy the skintines, stubble and highlights on to your model it also transfers the unrealistic elements from the photo. For example, this is a very hairy man in a post apocalyptic setting that for some strange reason has time to both survive hordes of zombies AND trim his nose hairs and eyebrows to perfection! If the goal is to make the mini more alive, my suggestion is to add scars, blemishes or liverspots that the picture doesn't show and also dirt, wear and discoloration on the clothes.
When you talk about building up layers of glaze. How many layers are we talking about 2? 20?
Until it looks how you want it to. The beauty of glazing is that it's a very slowly transformative technique so you just stop when you're happy with it.
420 glaze it
So im still having a trouble watering down glazes.. It keeps beading from surface tension and then leaving ugly edges.. Any tips?
Try adding in a touch of glaze medium :)
