Need advice on soft skin tones. (Keumaya figure)

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hey all.
My girlfriend bought me a Keymaya figure for my birthday. She is mostly very good and only needed a bit of heating and modding.
She had a few spots of black on her legs and bum etc. I cleaned these off with alcohol but it has taken the very light air brushing off as well. So she has kind of pale patches on her.
Is there a way to paint this back in using brushes and Citadel paints? Or would it need to be airbrushed to look any good?

Thanks for any advice offered.

Thanks for the reply. Yes that was my worry. With an airbrush it would be much easier to blend the area in question.
Perhaps I can find someone with an airbrush to do it for me.

Air brush should be easier. However, likely can be done with brushes provided you apply a few thin coats.

The main problem is matching skin tone with the paints available. I suspect you would likely have to repaint all exposed skin
