This was the exact technique i was looking for! Thanks for the tutorial.

[@GuilhermeVenske]

the best video teaching how to paint skin! Thank you for sharing your technique and congrat for the awesome job!

[@TK-421_66]

Nice job, Your Dad. That was largely what I was expecting your new process to be but for as well as the Sideshow video breaks this down it was nice to have it explained again by someone with tons of experience. Highly appreciated.

[@briankeirns9936]

About to try my hand at my first 1/6 scale head sculpt. Great, simple and straightforward tutorial. Much appreciated! Just discovered your channel and you’ve earned a sub. Thanks man

[@FlashpointCustoms]

I’ve recently started using almost a wash for the eyebrows as well. And build it up strand by strand in layers. It allows for a more realistic looking eyebrow rather than just a flat paint job over the sculpt.

[@dariapimenova1949]

Very nice and detailed tutorial, thank you

[@antikrists]

So many good tips, thank you!

[@JeremyDN]

I’ve watched a lot of different vids on skin tones and this is by far one of the best ones. Straight to the point and like you mentioned about Slideshow, as good as they are it’s more enjoyable to watch theirs. Yours I am actually picking up more on how and why exactly. I’ve always had hard times with skin plus I need more skin tone colors. Love the vid and the personality :) Look forward to more of them.

[@kratosxm]

Thanks so much for having the time to share your techniques

[@Groundeffected]

Thanks so much to those of you who support me I am able to!!

[@omarproenza1910]

Wow!!! And that's how I learn. Thank you very much for this video. is great

[@RType2966]

Love your videos fantastic face painting guides. Keep them coming.

[@Groundeffected]

Thank you! Will do!

[@vonniesgaragevonnie448]

that is an interesting idea about spraying the the wash like that, kind of like a stippling effect. It does add a bit of realism, amazing work. I don't think I am ready to try the "sideshow" method. Still trying to get the hang of layering. But I will try spraying the wash at low pressure. Thank you!

[@LokoInTheHouse2]

Great skin paint video

[@ZenMysticStudio]

Wonderful. Thanks!

[@philfoofighter]

Awesome video. Some genius tips. Look forward to trying this out

[@Groundeffected]

Hope they work out for you dude

[@rottiehood3872]

Nice, can’t wait to try your technique.

[@Groundeffected]

Good luck hope it works well for you dude

[@mitchellkruszyna109]

I’ve seen this yellow, red, and blue technique before, and now you’re doing it, it must be good. I will try it!

[@Groundeffected]

Seen it for a while but never thought to change my own method to try it. I’m not sure it’s my go to now but I is one of the ways I have been doing skins lately.

Your work looks amazing friend I been looking for the fairy flesh set but I can't find it in the United States can you recommend a place where to buy it...

[@doctorwolfen]

How do you thin nocturna colours for airbrush? Thanks youre great!

[@kosta6137]

The purple is neat 😮 are you meant to go over that with thinned out skin tones or did you just leave the purple alone and that’s how it turned out ?!

[@Zotemann]

Thx a lot ❤

[@Groundeffected]

No problem

[@mvm3897]

My skintones really started to look good when I started doing the washes. The only thing I don't do is the alcohol spritz as I find it reactivated the underlying layers of paint to easily.

[@Groundeffected]

It defo can do that. Gotto catch it fast and in all honesty doesn’t make that much of difference overall I don’t think. But I will need to test some more.

[@MadAl37]

I think I know the video you may if had this tip from, maybe the Superman video, in which case I'm pretty sure that the initial base tones where sealed with a varnish before they got into spritzing alcohol to help protect those initial layers.

[@Groundeffected]

@@MadAl37 I did spray sealer before the washes stage.

[@ippaku]

Catching up on the back catalog, making sure it’s your comment on the video to support the channel. Be well be you.

[@crush3095]

im so fkng confused, you used three primary colors, spread them around and then the skin came out amazing?? amazing, going to try

[@danielcoombes3310]

Hi dude, can you use isopropyl alcohol instead of denatured alcohol to spray on to the red wash?

[@tattoofan5212]

Perfekt was ist das zum tupfen und welche nadel benutzt du für die Details

[@bonflores5017]

I’m just starting on my airbrush journey, this is insanely helpful. I did have 1 question about the last step of doing the freckles. Are you just using a flesh wash? And how are you getting the speckled look from the airbrush? I can only make mine do that when I don’t want it to

[@Groundeffected]

Turn the airbrush right down and spray as you do it you’ll see it’ll start to speckle. Don’t spray too long like this cos it’ll block the tip but short quick bursts her and there is totally fine

[@cro-emils783]

Good video.

[@red-tailangelspitfire3075]

Thank you for all you do I used your hulk paint scheme an the results are amazing I apply the same technique to my other projecta as well, I have a question do you mix reddish flesh an natural together or do I layer them one after another? You explained it well I'm just a complete noob.

[@Groundeffected]

You can mix them. Sometimes I do but a lot of the time I use reddish first then mix the other into it for the next layer if that makes sense

[@Painekadaj]

I am looking to paint the nomnom studio sephiroth, any recommendations on paint?

[@polymarhb78]

Hi I’m trying to follow your advice, but what do you use to buffer the diluted color? I tried with foam rubber but it doesn’t absorb as much, and everything stays very wet

[@__bugc__]

Awesüüüme 😃✨

[@danielcoombes3310]

Hiya dude, would you mind telling me what kind of sponges you use and where I can get them please? I've just ordered this paint to create these washes so I can attempt this method of painting skin tones. I totally expect to fail but I need every chance I can get and that means I need these sponges...

[@Ash_Spector]

Sorry if this is a dumb ass question but are you mixing the base flesh and redish flesh together and spraying as one colour or doing each colour separately?

[@jaanikaapa6925]

Looks great. Have you check out their video on Harley? It was interesting that the painter used blue.

[@Groundeffected]

Not yet! That the new one? I’ll check it out when I get a gap

[@jaanikaapa6925]

@@Groundeffected No, pretty old one. Long time ago I tried linking it here. Apparently you can post as much scam posts you want, but god forbid you link to a KZbin video you get censored... I'd say it's about 2 years old.

[@Lungshot420]

I was doing this technique last night for the first time. Even tho I sealed it, the paint was coming off by the the 3rd wash. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@thermoshok]

hell yeah great tutorial any eye vids?

[@Groundeffected]

I’ve done eyes a few times in older videos

[@rhazelrig]

Are you sealing after every wash color?

[@newageoutlaw82]

What is your ratio for the washes?

[@dreadedfpv4106]

Amazing! 🙂 I want to try and replicate your process. Can you share the ratio of base flesh to reddish flesh you used for the base layer, and likewise for the medium flesh/natural flesh second layer? Thanks!

[@Groundeffected]

It’s like 50 /50 I’d say. Depends how dark or light you want the character or if you need more richness to the skin

[@dreadedfpv4106]

@@Groundeffected great, thanks 👍

[@Smarteez83]

Does it wear over time ?

[@tjslater2006]

For the first two layers where you mixed a couple of paints together were those 1:1 ratio?

[@Groundeffected]

Yea about that. This is just getting the base tone I wanted. If you’re not too particular about that then this ratio won’t matter too much to you.

[@MadAl37]

So the alcohol you spritzed on, was that just IPA or did you dilute it? Great video as ever fella.

[@Groundeffected]

I used straight alcohol 99% lol

[@bacawaka2813]

I see you painted in the blood vessels which is missing a lot of the time, but what about the viens? Sometimes, they are visible in the thin parts of the skin, such hands, arms, legs, etc.

[@Groundeffected]

For me personally that’s too much. I enjoy painting but not enough to push it that far. I prefer a comic smooth shade rendered look anyway

[@travisnorton5810]

What is your technique for darker skin tones? Do you use the same washes? How about different color skins like blue purple or green? Would you change the wash color based on that?

[@Groundeffected]

I need some more testing but in my opinion using this for darker skins would work only changing the base colour would change the tone and then you can lighten with highlights

[@FlashpointCustoms]

I have seen a couple of people do the same technique with darker skin tones, but instead of a darker base, they just do multiple brown washes until they get the desired tone.

[@rolindets47]

Bro caught me off guard at 1:05 lmaoo i wasnt expecting a joke there and it made me get a good laugh

[@Groundeffected]

Hahahahahaha had to go back and see for myslef. Even I was caught of guard haha

[@rolindets47]

@@Groundeffected ive never airbrushed before and i got inspired by you a month ago and now i love it. Thank you dude. Keep doing what you do.

[@sliven21]

Do you use a medium to thin down the paints in this instance or just water?

[@Groundeffected]

Just water my dude

[@kenusaga]

OMG - I literally have extra spaghetti sauce in my beard as I watch this video. I never felt so connected with you! XD

[@Groundeffected]

Haha no way

[@layne182]

When you apply these washes, are you removing all of them and not letting any of it remain in the creases?

[@Groundeffected]

All of it. You letting it tint the surfaces. Don’t let it poop in the recesses.

[@layne182]

@@Groundeffected awesome! Thanks for replying 😁

[@FigureFortress]

Do you varnish before putting the alcohol on and is something like IPA ok?

[@Groundeffected]

No the ipa breaks up the red paint it’ll go almost veiny like doesn’t always happen you got to have a decent layer down but it will make it look more random and that’s what you want for skin.

[@FigureFortress]

@@Groundeffected thank you. :) Il give this a try! ❤️

[@danielcoombes3310]

What kind of sponges do you recommend?

[@Groundeffected]

You can find make up ones at a discount they look like 3d year drop shapes. Break them into bits is what I do

[@skyrider4789]

Where in the UK do you live? Trying to place the accent. 😂 Fan from Los Angeles

[@Groundeffected]

South but I have a south African accent cos that’s where I was born

[@flexmcpee]

How long do you leave the paint to dry before applying the washes. I just tried this and it removed all my paint even after sealing but I only left to dry for 5 mins before trying🤦‍♂️

[@Groundeffected]

At least an hour dude. Depends on the paint and your environment but it has to be dry.

[@chunkylover48]

\What type of alcohol are you using? I've tried 99% denatured ethanol and it had no affect.

[@Groundeffected]

Isopropyl the paint also shouldn’t be let to dry too much too

[@chunkylover48]

@@Groundeffected OK great thanks for the reply! Maybe I'm letting it dry too much then. In the Sideshow Collectibles video they used denatured alcohol so I was unsure if that was the issue.

[@HauntedProd2009]

What kind of alcohol do you use ? And What is the real effect on paint ?

[@Groundeffected]

90% and it breaks up the paint. Will also strip the layers underneath them too

Um. No. I seal before the the washes. Then I seal after the red and freckles part.
