Hallo together...

thank you that for your advices on my other topic. Now I'm trying my luck with a new miniature for our pen and paper.

Its a dwarf from scibor miniatures. So far I like the miniatures, yet I face a massive problem. I have no idea how to paint the face because I'm not able to reach all parts (because of the helmet) I saw different video guides on youtube for normales faces without a helmet and I'm sure I could to them too. But the face with the helmet, no chance. Always making mistakes and then have to start over.

I'm grateful for any help.


For reference I'd like to show your the miniature.

Use a smaller brush, like a 0; looks relative easy, black or dark brown primer; paint the skin tone Cadian flesh, highlight with dwarf flesh, ogryn wash, retouch some highlights, do the facial hairs; eyes, then the helmet, work from inner recess out.

Thank you. I do use a 0 brush put it always feels like the colour want go where it should. Maybe I shall use more water then?
