Painting Figures Advice
« on: May 05, 2022, 02:56:12 pm »

I am not a painter  by any means and struggle due to an issue with my hands.

I wondered how people find painting eyes etc. This figure is 1/12 Scale.

Hi David


I have a book at home which teaches this subject- I’ll be home late tonight but I’ll fetch it out for you so you can see the method.

Ahh Nick that would be awesome thanks buddy.

The Head, Body and Legs are designed to be separate to make it easier.. but the building up of colour etc I would like to refine :)

I used a texture primer on the clothing to make them feel worn than real than silky smooth.

The main bit of advice I received was not to paint them pure white, tint them with a bit of yellow. Also lots of good tutorials on YouTube.
