Hey Guys,

Here is a tutorial on how I go about painting skin. I have used a Dwarf as a model because of the amount of skin available. I use this exact colour scheme to do my space marine faces. I hope it helps someone out there.

Here is a quick pic of the results,

and here is a HD video on how I go about doing it....




Comments are always welcomed.

Thanks!

edit: added video to thread -grey_death

Nice video thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks for the help, i have always had trouble with painting skin but this seems like an easy and effective way of doing it

Great tutorial, thanks!

Thanks guys for the feedback.

Cat.

Telion looks really sad in that pic.

Thank you for sharing the video, helped my friend out a lot. cheers!

This is a big help. I am just getting into the whole skin painting myself, and I have discovered that I am horrible at it. This tutorial is a big help though. (I just have to adapt it to Dark Eldar pale skin.)

Hi just watched your tutorial and it was a great help. My only criticism is that the music was a bit loud making what you were saying hard to make out at times but maybe that's just my old ears.

I watched this and then applied it to a Commisar I'm working on, and I thoroughly enjoy the results. I only made one teeny tiny little variation, but other than that I think you've come across a very simple and very effective way of painting flesh!

Your a lifesaver dude I just started catachans.

Hard to see much in that video (except when you did the wash), would get more from a series of still images with better lighting.

Good tut! I have yet to put a non helmeted face on any of my space marines, but i intend to with my new librarian! Thanks for the tips i will surely use them.

thats simillar to what I was doing with my models.

if you want different effects play with mixing red or blue into the base instead of brown for sicker or more 'alien' results too.

Thats a great tip wash-away, I will try that when the right fig needs to be painted!

Awesome tutorial,

I was never any good at doing faces and I now know 2 different ways to paint faces so cant wait to give your's a try.

Also loved the comment about liquid skill had me laughing at my desk.

Awesome this will come in handy.

Not too bad my friend, I very much enjoyed this. Keep up the awesome work!

Great tutorial! Simple with awesome results. Thabks for sharing. Mr.Jody.

Thanks a lot for another amasing vid!Once again you have amased me with your toutorails and painting skills.I do really love your vids on you tube too!!!

Nice Job
Flesh painting has always been my weak point

I learned something. My paint is too thick. Thanks!

Great work!! Thanks for the tutorial.

Very helpful tutorial. I'm gonna have to give it a try soon.

Thanks Guys, Please share your results in this thread so I can see how you do!!

I suck at painting faces and I think that this video is really going to help. thanks

gonna play with the basecoat colors for my nids but this is extremely helpful. so many fleshy recesses and of course genestealer faces are semi-human.

thanks a ton.
