I've been asked about this a lot, and it would seem that busts are becoming very popular with the number of companies producing them now.
Glazing skin and flesh is a hot topic right now, and this video will set you up with a few basic rules to follow when glazing different colours onto flesh.
More videos covering these techniques, and introducing more complex concepts will follow.




All piants used are Formula P3 by Privateer Press unless stated otherwise.

Glaze 1 - Sanguine Highlight
Glaze 2 - Beaten Purple
Glaze 3 - Wurm Green

Any colours can be substituted here, so experiment and see what happens.

Following up from the first video which introduces the painter to the basic principles of employing glazes for flesh, this video advances those methods one step further.

With these intermediate techniques, I demonstrate how to paint cuts, bruising, veins, and how to add character. Instead of covering large sections of flesh to create colour distinction, I instead apply the glazes precisely and in a controlled manner to create a myriad of effects on the flesh.

Experiment, and see what other colours can be used, and what effects they produce. Try greens, blues, and purples for a start.

holy gak these are amazing videos! Thank you for posting these.

In your intermediate glazing video where you glaze the cuts you mention the rule of making sure all highlights and shading is complete first. And for the cuts specifically one side has to be dark and the other light. Does it matter which side is which? Can I make the top of the cut lighter and the bottom darker or vice versa?

Also, that model in the second video has GORGEOUS skin tone shading. Do you have any tutorials demonstrating how you painted that guys flesh?
Thanks!

It's funny, I should have recorded the process for both of those guys - but I didn't.
However, I do have a ton more Massive Darkness monsters to paint. So, I'll make sure to get a couple on some skin tones recorded.

As for the cut, the highlight should always be on the side that is opposite the light source. eg. If the light is coming from the top, the bottom edge of the cut will have the highlight.
