Aloa,
another old tutorial of mine translated. I am quoting myself from this point on.
Once I was asked on several occasions how I paint skin, I can now once again remove a tutorial from my 2do list. I have taken the Helldorado's Saracen prince Tarik for this tutorial and tried to find some time to photograph each step and this will now explain a little bit how i have worked the skin on him.
Please be noticed that this is not a beginner tutorial, but rather it aims at the advanced painters of you. For sure you can not immediately implement the same result the first time you may try this neither it should not be the perfect way you have to do something. Rather it is intended to show a glimpse into my work and serve the one or other interested people as an inspiration.
The model was primed white over black.
The basic layers
The basic contract was 2 layers of Elf Flesh / Bleached Bone (60/40) that I had applied with about 1 / 2 Color / water. Dilution of colours is very important but this will be another tutorial someday.
I have added a little Tanned Flesh in the basic colour and glazed softly to the shadows. (Note: Humm? I don't see much difference to the first pictures here, sorry for that, i got no other pictures left)
Define the shadow areas
So I put 2 times repeatedly and then given another small drop of Chaos Black into the mix and in for the deepest shadows:
Bringing back the lights / Cleaning it up
With the basic colour, you remember - Elf Flesh / Bleached Bone I then repeatedly traced the lights:
I went a little brighter by adding some more of Bleached Bone in the mix:
In itself, not many colors were used as you see. The color scheme was carried out on the glazing progress, the brightest tone that gets to the elaboration of the shadow of the desired hue ...
Greetings and keep on happy painting!
Roman
Thanks for another great tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI'll try this out soon,
cheers!
Your welcome, Tom... thanks for your comment!
ReplyDeleteHappy Painting to you!
When working with glazes, especially bleached bone mixed into elf flesh, my glazes tend to start chalking up, is that just because it is not thinned enough?
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree with the need to look at combinations, it should be in addition to isolation, rather than instead.
