I had a couple of hours to kill this morning so I thought I'd do another contrast paints tutorial. I wanted to see how easy and fast it would be to achieve a decent skin tone as its always a part of a mini that can cause problems. Here are the stages I used- 1. Over an undercoat of wraithbone spray I applied a 50/50 mix of darkoath flesh and contrast medium. 2. I then shaded in select areas with pure darkoath flesh. 3. I repeated this process with fyreslayer flesh focusing more on the deeper recesses. 4. Then with pure cygor brown I picked out the deepest areas such as the eyes, mouth and ears. 5. The entire face then got a glaze of 50/50 mix skeleton horde and contrast medium. 6. I then washed around the nose, lip and cheeks with an equal parts mix of flesh tearers red, fyreslayer flesh and contrast medium. At this point I also washed a small amount of space wolves grey around the eyes. 7. I then highlighted the face with wraithbone base paint. I did this in about 3 thin layers. 8. Pure white was then used to pick out the very edge and define the face. 9. I used a little basilicanum grey to define the eyes before painting them and finishing the hair. There you go! As with the nmm tutorial I did this technique is faster than regular painting and I think it gave a good result. This way of painting skin isn't that different to what I'd normally do but it takes the hassle out of trying to lay down a smooth basecoat. I'm thinking of doing a steel nmm tutorial next as it was a popular request last time. Cheers! Daz
