Hi guys,

What is the best way to achieve a good looking stocking/tight/suspender?

I have tried using a very thinned out black and grey colour over the top of the flesh colour and just ended up with a muddy look, also a wash did not work very well.
The look I'm trying to achieve is pictured below on Colette Du Bois.

Look up tutorials about painting sheer effects! Thats what you're looking for

Cheers, I was typing in Google all sorts of odd things to try and find a tutorial, and the most interesting things come up when searching for stockings and suspenders.

I can only imagine hehe

the trick is to start black and add the flesh tones as the highlights .

Check out this link, it should (hopefully) provide the technique you need

Cheers found the coolminiornot stuff at lunch thanks to searching for sheer fabric miniature figures.

On way home so should be able to test out a few techniques.
