I know this was posted on the last site, but as I have forgotten the answer, here we go. How do u paint skin, namely human skin. I'm doing a black primer, elf flesh under coat, skin wash, dwarf flesh, elf flesh high light. My questions are, is this the best order to do the colors and how do u paint the skin after the wash? Dry brush, painting carefully, etc? Thanks

Honestly, I've seen all these ideas about how to do flesh, and they all seem rather complex. I've always been satisfied with a flesh tone undercoat, followed by a flesh wash, followed by Drybrushing back over it all with flesh tone. The flesh tone depends on the ethnicity I choose to lean for in the particular model. It's simple, and as long as you don't put on too heavy a wash, it comes out really nice.

You said it. Satisfaction. If your happy with dry brushing, have at it. I'm not and I don't know if Evil is. Dr. Fausts site gives good techniques with plenty of photo references on everything from drybrushing to blending and color selection.

Thats the way my horny daemonettes are painted. They come out nice that way.

My daemonettes are done in a different style. But that's because I wanted them to be rather pale, and the above method doesn't really achieve that. Instead, I start off with a base of Bronzed flesh and then work my way up through paler flesh tones with succesive Drybrushings of lighter quality. They look excelent and very pale.
