How I Mix and Apply My SKIN TONES in Real Time/ No Time Lapses

[@Grossman2868]

I learn so much from your videos. I've painted portraiture before and had a pretty good knowledge of skin tones, but going from a 2D surface to a 3D surface, in miniature to boot, is a challenge. Also, airbrushing details is something I've not really done much of.

[@MigMonkey]

I'd love to see more like this, I've always struggled with faces. That's why I tend to stick to models with helmets..

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Once I get a few more patrons I'm going to start doing some live streams where we can go over painting tutorials together, plus I plan on doing a few more of these type of videos.

[@ironcladwraith]

@@TheCreativeCollector Do you seal the head after airbrushing and before you do the wash or do you just dry it and then put on the red and yellow wash?

[@basfinnis]

Really effective. Thanks for the description 😉

[@MichaelKalb-vn6gg]

Although I'm more of a mini painter, this REALLY helped train my brain for good skin tone mixing. Thank you!

[@archierufino-q5f]

I found this video.thank you again sir

[@paddo0011]

Very helpful seeing close up painting, it helps alot!

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheSpider-ManSanctuary]

that was awesome steps you went through. thanks for that. gives me something to try

[@valknut3d]

Thank you very much for the advice! I will put them into practice to improve!

[@TheCreativeCollector]

You're so welcome!

[@princeofprintness2892]

That is so awesome !!

[@baleeghal-qarooni5146]

Excellent, your video made me reconsider my -skin tone- technique. I like it... Also, I like the dry palette. Do you have a link for it? Thank you for the video.

[@codyfahnestock4791]

Do you use certain plastic primers depending on the color you’re putting over them? And also do you ever use craft paints that can be used for plastic?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

I only use the Krylon Color Maxx primer because it covers everything. I dont use much craft paint but I am experimenting with it right now and making a video on it.

[@codyfahnestock4791]

I’ve used Tamiya primers specifically the spray can primers. The white is great. Keep in mind if you do use that primer in the future it leaves a powdery substance behind so if you airbrush, make sure to give it a good dusting off before applying color. Tamiya also has great acrylic paint thinner and I have had incredible results with using that with the multi surface Folkart paints. I think they recently came out with a decent flesh tone pack you can get from their website. I do two parts thinner to one part paint and I’m able to airbrush their textured Teracotta paints as well for stone textures. It’ll clog up every so often but not so much that it’s a head ache. I also use Krylon as it’s alkid based when the Tamiya is not readily available for me, although I find sometimes it can run and come out thick easily if you don’t watch it and will give a rubbery look depending on what type of finish you go with meaning matte, satin or gloss.

[@johnhughes1385]

Your washing and shading techniques. Do you use the same technique when youre painting arms and legs. Whennyoure trying to accent the lines or muscle tone

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Basically. Its a little different when using an airbrush vs a regular brush. I'm about to make a video on doing this with a regular brush.

[@johnhughes1385]

@@TheCreativeCollector awesome. I look forward to that. Im glad youre making these. Alot.of videos ive seen about making hyper realistic flesh tones on models. They just show the colors and then do.it. they dont go into detail of how or why they are using each technique and shades

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Thanks John. I think its important to fully show the process or no one will retain it.

[@bggjjhljk]

at 7:30 , what did you add to the color? it looked like a clear liquid

[@TheCreativeCollector]

It's just paint thinner.

[@JohnVanderbeck]

I'm much more technical than artistic, so I can't help be wonder if there isn't just a set ratio of these colors that could be worked out then be done consistently in batches when needed? I mean if the pigments from the individual bottles are consistent then the mix should be as well, right?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

You should be able to do that. I just like to mix my own for the specific character.

[@the250mikec]

Love it. Thanks

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Thank you too!

[@toocool5723]

How do you get the paint to go on so smoothly? Everytime I paint it's like it peels off after I dry & try to put another coat Even with thinned paints Could it be the primer? Or the hairdryer I use to speed up the drying ?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Most likely it could be your primer. I've never had an issue with paint peeling off. And if you're using a hair dryer, try not to get too close or use too long. That can peel it off too.

[@clintlucas7604]

After each layer, I let dry and I either use a workable fixative or a flat coat. It protects the paint and then you can layer over.

[@clintlucas7604]

Also before priming, I use a very light coat of water and Dawn to wash the model to clean any body oils from the hands. After maybe use latex gloves.

Part 2 please😢😢😢🎉

[@Julian1701D]

Very helpful thank you 🤟

[@andrewshaner4135]

Thank you for the help n tips:)

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Anytime!

[@gjohnson5978]

How would you mix for darker skin like Falcon

[@TheCreativeCollector]

You could add just a little brown at a time till you reach the tone you want. You'll have to add a little more red too.

[@gjohnson5978]

What is the mixture for your big bottle of pinkish undertone...Where did you get that amount of paint to make it...

[@philfoofighter]

Great video. Really p, really useful

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Thank you sir!

[@slainx]

Awesome

[@joejvitale]

What about it you want to brush on those colors you mixed for those w/o airbrushes? Same process or do we need to do something different?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

I would say same process as far as mixing, but apply the shade in thin layers, like using a glaze. Build it up so it doesn't go on too strong.

[@peterpan107]

Hey bro u help alot I have a question how many resin printers do u use?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

I use 4 resin and 1 FDM.

[@Bricks1226]

What airbrush do you use?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

I use several but in this video I was using a cheap one I have a link for in the description.

[@darren990]

great video that is

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Thanks. Glad you liked it. 👍

[@eltenda]

Very very interesting

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Very!

[@clintlucas7604]

I watched a video on Sideshow Collectibles that did the red, yellow wash tone..they also used blue. I think it was Superman. Check it out! I've done it and it's a good process. Thanks for doing it!

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Yes I saw it as well. I use the method sometimes, but I'm always experimenting with different ways to get the perfect skin tones.

[@jasoncorbett8312]

You ever try a Jenna Ortega as Wednesday model? From certain light it looks like her skin is a kind of purple. What would you do for pale skin like that?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

I haven't yet but I plan on painting a Wednesday model soon. And you're right, there is a purple hue to it. I would probably mix some into the base tone and lighten it up with a warmer tone from there.

[@timbuktu8069]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for using real color paints! I am so tired of tutorials that use "Gobin vomit" and "Zombie fingernail" for the pallete.

[@sweettoof81]

Can't have too many workrooms....

[@TheCreativeCollector]

This is very true!
