What's up guys?
Welcome back!
I'd like to thank you all for your continued enthusiasm towards my work. I really appreciate
all your support.
I get a lot of questions from people asking about how I paint faces, so today's video
is going to focus on exactly that.
On our palette here we have Cadian Flesh Tone, now you can use whatever flesh tone you like
here. I can highly recommend Vallejo Red Beige, P3 Khardic Flesh, and also Resurrection Flesh
from Fantasy and Games. They're all outstanding.
Next up we have some GW Screamer Pink.
Vallejo Dark Sea Blue
White
And a little pool of water off to the side for changing paint consistency.
You'll also need some Rhinox Hide, Reikland Flesh Shade and either P3 Rucksack Tan, or
GW Balor Brown.
To start off we'll mix our base colour by taking some of the fleshtone and adding a
little Screamer Pink.
And then a little Dark Sea Blue.
Careful that you don't add too much, it can alter the colour quite drastically.
It's actually kinda hard to see with this lighting but it's nothing a bit of Movie Magic
can't fix.
There we go, much better.
You can see that I've already painted his face with the base tone.
So what we're going to do is now is just simply wash the surface with some Reikland Flesh
Shade.
Now you don't want this to pool too much so just use a damp brush here to draw some of
the wash off the face anywhere where it's over pooling.
Ok so once that dries just come back in with your base colour and start to pick out the
details.
So, hit the eyebrows.
Slight mistake there but we can fix that with a clean brush.
The bridge of the nose.
The upper half of the checkbones
Then we're going to do these little creases at the side of the mouth.
And finally the upper part of the forehead.
You want to try and draw the pigment up to where the forehead meets the hairline.
Alright so for our first highlight we'll just add some white to our base mix and we'll hit
the same sections again but this time we'll cover a small surface area.
For our second highlight we'll simply add some more white and so that you can see what's
happening more clearly we'll go for an
Extreme Close Up!!!!
WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!
WARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!
Excellent, excellent, extreme close up woo!
Alright so focus on the front edge of the checkbone this time.
On the forehead we're just going to hit where the face joins the hairline.
And we'll highlight the upper part of the creases at the side of the mouth.
Like so.
Moving on to our shading we'll add some pink to our base colour and we'll thin it down
with a bit of water, in order to make a glaze.
Now we're going to apply this both under the cheeks and directly over them.
And we''re going to try and pull the pigment to the side of the face, that's going to help
round out the forehead.
And just go ahead and do the same on the other side.
Add a little bit here just above the eyebrows.
Ok so we're going to take some DarkSea Blue now and we're going to mix that into our shadow
colour.
That's going to give you this really rich dark purple.
And we're going to glaze that into the creases by the side of the mouth.
We'll also reinforce the shadow under the cheekbone.
And we'll glaze over the lowerpart of the jaw going towards the bottom of the jawline.
We'll also glaze the neck, and under the chin.
Ok so just go ahead and add some Rhinox Hide to your palette now and we're going to make
a start on the eyes.
Do your best to neatly paint the eye socket, this is going to form a frame for your eye
later on.
I find it's much easier if you hold the model side on like this.
Alright so, grab some white and we'll just paint the eyeball.
Lets go for second time lucky.
When you're doing this you want to try and retain an outline of Rhinox Hide around the
white.
Alright that was close enough.
Just tidy it up a bit here with some Rhinox Hide.
Next we'll take our Rhinox Hide again and just add it to our base colour, a bit of screamer
pink.
It's not quite dark enough so we'll just add a bit more of each.
I think that looks about right.
We're going to use this colour to line around the teeth.
To paint the teeth we'll either use P3 Rucksack tan, or Balor Brown from GW.
I'm going to add a bit of Dark Sea Blue just to darken it a little bit.
Alright so just go ahead and paint the teeth
Mix in some white and we're going to use that to highlight the teeth.
For the lower lip we'll add a bit of Screamer Pink to our base colour and then we'll just
come in and do our best to hit the lip.
Usually I'll put a strong shadow under the lip, but the beard on this guy will basically
act as the shadow. So you don't really need to add anything extra.
Again, mix in some white and use that to highlight the lip this time.
For the tongue we're just going to add a bit more Screamer Pink. It's actually easier to
paint the tongue first, so that you don't run the risk of hitting the teeth I did things
a bit arse backwards here but it's no big deal it just makes it a bit trickier.
So you can see the whole thing's actually quite rough but once you block in the hair
to frame it it's going to pull all the colour together and it's going to end up looking
something like this.
Alrighty! So thanks for watching guys, like share and subscribe and I'll see you all next
time.
Thanks again.
Bye for now.
