Hello,

I need some help with painting the shown figure. So here are my questions:
1. What color or wash should I use to shade the robes?
2. What color should I make the underside of the robes?
3. What color eyes?




(The regular PA guys will have less yellow)

With yellow, I'd either use a mid-brown colour (rust brown in the old GW inks), or a red, depending on what kind I'm looking for. Underside of the robes is really a matter of taste. If you shaded with red, a crimson colour might be nice, or a pure white. Again, eyes are preference, but look good with a stand-out colour. Green might be nice, and compliment the yellow. Blue or red would really stand out.

Well for the wash on the robe you could always use agrax earth shade by gw but it might make the robe to dirty looking if you apply to much unless that's the look your looking for, you could do a really light wash with it to try and keep the robe a more vivid yellow (I personally like bright colours).

I agree with eggs about the underside maybe a nice mechrite red I think that would contrast the yellow and black of the models nicely and that's why I would go red for the eyes as well

I'm no expert painter by far but that's just my 2 cents and what I would do for my tastes
