FIN: Human & Project Insight

Hey Jungle,

another bust finished.

This time from Beyond Miniatures. It is a so called anatomic bust, named Dahak.
A great sculpt by Raul Garcia Latorre. I did change it a little as I was mainly interested in painting his face not the full body. So I sanded it off to focus on the face.

Paintjob Insight:
It was a really cool approach for me. I first put a basic skin color to the full bust and then used thick watercolor to place it for skin variations:

#01

I used my shadow skin color, middle tone skin color and highlight skin color to mix it directly with the variations I plan with the watercolor ...

#02



This was such a cool base to start from and it was ace quick. Of course the watercolor would be removable if it would not mix properly with the acrylic color, but I mixed it. And so I was able to paint on top of it.

I really enjoyed working on this skin with texture. For my taste skin looks so much more alive.
I hope you like it!
