Painting flesh colour?

Posted in Custom Workstation

Soo was wondering how do you add detail to a flesh colour because if you at look at like my customs mockingbird and ms marvel there Is pretty much no detail , so I bought sone citadel elf flesh but what else might I need and how do I create shading ? Also howI do I make it look like actually part of the figure instead of paint layers . If you understand what I mean ? Ok thanks .

An air brush would probably give the most realistic shading/gradation of flesh tones. I usually just slap a nutmeg brown wash on top of Caucasian flesh tones.

These are the colours I use from Games workshop

Base coat = tanned flesh
Generous dry brush = Dwarf flesh
Less generous dry brush = Elf flesh
Even less generous dry brush = bleached bone

Just make sure you concentrated the lighter shades higher up on the mucscles you're shading and it's all good. Check out my Tri-Clops to see how it looks.

Jin's is great to take a look at, but Hemble made an excellent tutorial as well. Don't know if it's featured here at FR though.


EDIT: yes it is, it's called "Painting a head".

Burnt sienna works really good when mixed with flesh color when you want to get darker shades/washes.

When I do shading on skin I usually mix brown with the original skin tone but I have also done drybrushing on skin(my jason blood figure) or I sometimes mix red instead of brown with the skin tone to get the desired effect. It really depends on what your shooting for.
