painting Faces on Spaces wovles

I usually use Tallarn flesh as a base coat, it's one of the best tones around. Then add small quantities of burnt umber for shadows (lowlights), and burnt umber + black for deep shadows. For highlights add a very light flesh tone to Tallarn flesh. Try not to use white as it will render the face chalky.

personally i use:

taleran flesh

then

devlan mud over it

then

drybrush a 50/50 mix of taleran flesh and skull white

then

a little highlight of skull white

 

 

thats mainly on my characters or showcase minis. Normally i just leave out the last 2 stages

I have found that a drybrush of tallarn flesh, followed by a heavy wash of scorced brown and then some highlights with tallars flesh if you like is a great way to make good-looking, easy and fast faces. Not golden daemon, but fast and easy. Just be sure to make a few test with the wash until you get a good thickness (or more like non-thickness, even tough you could have is quite thick. Medium is best :D)
When I paint faces, I start with a scorched brown over the black undercoat. I then apply a 50/50 mix of scorched brown and graveyard earth, and on top of that a 50/50 mix of graveyard earth and elf flesh. Once this dries I use a healthy amount of ogryn flesh wash, and after that apply careful highlights using straight up elf flesh. Seems to work quite well for my models.

i use the method that was in WD a while back.

 

Tallarn flesh basecoat.

dark flesh wash

scorched brown/chaos black wash

2:1:1 tallarn, fortress grey, bleached bone

1:1 tallarn, bleached bone

straight bleached bone

1:1 regal blue/bleached bone under the eyes

1:1 scab red/bleached bone on the bottom lip

skull white (although i use 2:1 skull/bleached) to add expressions to the face

 

quite a long process but the results look really good.

Base coat Tallarn Flesh then Ogyrn Flesh wash it. I then gently go over it with elf flesh. It's basically a dry brush I guess but it lightens the skin tone and picks out raised areas like the cheeks and nose. I usually paint the bottom lip dwarf flesh and then do things like the eyebrows, hair and eyes etc... Simple but it's given me the best faces I've ever done!
