I simply prime the entire figure in black paint (it's very important to get it deep in all the little nooks and folds -- this allows you to simply leave some hard-to-get spots unpainted, as they just show up as shadow). Then I actually paint around the bits I want to leave outlined. This is not as hard as it might seem, and it has a couple of advantages -- the first being that since I leave a thin space of black between areas of different color, I almost never accidentally "slop" one color onto another (reducing touch-up time significantly); secondly, from a distance, the detail stands out a bit more, because the outline is somewhat exaggerated. I did not invent this technique, of course, but I unfortunately can't remember where I learned it -- I'd love to give the right person credit.<br /><br />For the flesh, I simply use Vallejo's 70815 "Basic Skintone."Chris C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08655640273250716377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745950328336574574.post-81758768940905887232011-12-09T18:28:26.478-05:002011-12-09T18:28:26.478-05:00that is really neat!that is really neat!Poetry of the Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198064593715494884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745950328336574574.post-92028945303589257292011-12-09T17:05:46.179-05:002011-12-09T17:05:46.179-05:00Very nice.
