How to paint FACES and SKINTONES with ACRYLICS in 1/35 scale? EASY TUTORIAL

There are a lot of tutorials about painting faces with acrylics, but nobody is telling you those little things that I do. There are a lot of tips and tricks, and you will be able to paint a decent face in a short amount of time. There are color charts for Ammo by Mig, Vallejo, and AK-3rd Gen. Enyoy.
If you want more there is the link to my Patreon page down there.
Common questions:
-What colors to use?
-How to prepare the paint?
-How and why to use a stiff palette?
-How thin should the paint be?
-How to apply paint?
-How to do shadows, base tones and highlights?
All those and more will get an answer here. And you will be able to do a decent face in a very short time.

    Nice work , but if i can write something - if someone tell u that paint brand is not important - he is wrong , the same at colors . Try to use brands like AK 3 gen , Vallejo Model color, Andrea or Scale 75 . About thinner use dedicatet for acrylic or flow improver from vallejo . Retarder for eyes will be very helpful. Try to use wet palette - there u will get a perfect moisture and dilution. Wrote about technics like layering , glazing , mid tones , and other - because glazing like on your movie u will get tired , beter are midtones and layering on that stage :) to achieve smooth transitions :) In painting very important is the direction of brush passes , always end pass in direction where u want more paint to stay . Ask if u need something :)

    Hi. If the painter is good, (and I am not) the brand is not so important. Offcourse, there are better brands. And Vallejo is better than this, but this is not the point of this video... And if you saw, I gave codes for other brands to... As far the wet palette, I tried it a lot. I dont like it because I hed problems with it. Also my menthor works with a stff one. And you cant say that wet is better. Is better for some people. Tommaso also explained all the things that you said, but I will talk about them, when I will actualy use them, and I will know how to show them. I am sorry that you are focusing on what is not in the video, instead of what is. Tnx for the intervention, mate. Always good comments from you... 🤟😀

    Faces look good like you say more work on the eyes, also if you use a very thin wash of red over the white of the eyes will pull them into the face.

    For airbrushing base color of the face, is it ok to use Mr leveling thinner with Vallejo paint? I thought Mr leveling is lacquer thinner.

  • @dioramadevil

    @dioramadevil

    Ай бұрын

    And it is... A lacquer thinner. It works with Ammo acrylics (100%). It DOESNT work with old AK acrylics (also this 100%). I am sure about those two, because I tried. Biberhunter scale models once said to me that it works with Vallejo acrylics, but I think that a club collegue once said that it doesnt. You try first. Put some paint on the well palette, put the thinner in and try to mix with a brush. For airbrush you will need a micro amount of paint and lot of thinner because Vallejos are like a cream. Good luck... ❤️💪
