Paint better SKIN TONES now! Easy To Do!

[@CleverUsername7689]

I’d love to see a tutorial on 1/12 scale figures. There’s a lot of Marvel Legends and import customizers like myself who use these guides, but struggle with the smaller size.

[@shavp]

This is a Great video I love the fact that you started off using just the Vallejo basic skin tone as your base coat because every other video that I see on KZbin always has someone mixing 3 or 4 different paints together just to create 1 base skin tone lol your approach just seems a lot easier and I definitely have to try it whenever I get the chance

[@1objection]

Wow, just adding the orange and red to put in the tones did so much more than I thought it would. Great video.

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Bornz0r1337]

I'm so scared to paint things but watching your videos really help motivate me!

[@JohnVanderbeck]

I had this problem as well. Took me a while to actually get paint down on one of my printed models. I made some models for gifts this year and that forced me to do it. Once you start getting paint down it becomes a lot easier to put down more! Realizing I can always just print a new part really helps as well.

[@CleverUsername7689]

You have no idea how long I’ve waited or how hard I’ve looked for this video. Thank you.

GSI airbrushes are awesome I own several of those and two Iwata Microns, an Iwata Takumi, and my next favorite is my trigger type Grex. I also have a H&S which I only use for hyper realistic paintings. But the GSI out of the box are freaking amazing and the price point of around $99 last forever and spray amazing every time for consistency. I also found that Createx Colors work amazingly well with resin printed models (airbrush paint).

kller work brotha, Dont forget yall different color washes will help give different hues like blue for example gives some great cooler depth to some skin tones. keep it up yall

[@TheChickn]

Hi, can you use the airbrush in your apartment? I can open windows and stuff like that, but depending on the weather, it would be stupid on the balcony. I'm unsure about the paint mist, someone I know says no problem, he does it too, no problems, it's not that big, others say without a mini cabin, you'll mess up the room in the long run. How are your experiences?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

I would look into getting a small paint booth. You'll have paint overspray everywhere. Plus it's not pleasant to breath in.

It depends on the model. I like to do it in pieces but sometimes you can't

Does anyone use tack cloth anymore? It works great to take out any shmutz from from sanding and so on.

Because when you put the freckle on first then put the red on it'll just wipe it all off.

[@jw-novamedia]

Hey CC, I've got a lot of models I'm planning on painting, that are showing a lot of skin (mostly human skin), instead of painting two layers of gray undercoat and two layers of color with zero shading and depth. Is there any methods of making some visually pleasing skin with shading, and outfits/uniforms with also good shading? I'm still trying to get highlighting down, and how to correctly tie it to light sources and stuff. I heard one of the best beginner methods is to get a spray undercoat and just spray the model from above, using a white spray primer to simulate a light source. Do people use washes for skin, for larger models that are also heavy on skin? One last note, sort of new to mini painting any recommendations on any products to achieve these results? Right now I've got the Game Master RP Paint set, but I've got the Vallejo Basic Paint Set & Vallejo Grey Primer coming in soon. Down the line I'm thinking about the Vallejo Face/Skin Set, Citadel Reikland Fleshshade, Citadel Base Bugman's Glow, Citadel Layer Cadian Fleshtone, Citadel Layer Kislev Flesh.

[@TheCreativeCollector]

You can use a zenithal method of shading with skin tones if you prefer. I like to use darker tones with an airbrush. You might want to use a white primer first when doing that much of skin tones. It can bring a lighter vibrance so you won't have to go too dark with the shading.

[@RinconFreaky]

I am new into 3d Printing and I am in love with it. Seeing you print 1/4 made me want to to try to. I bought the recent Elegoo Mars 4, the issue will be printing 1/4 bases. What 3d printer you use for the bigger prints? Thank you I advance!

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Check out the Elegoo Jupiter, Linant Deck, Uniformation GKTwo. Any mid size SLA printer will help you create bigger pieces.

[@simonfieldhouse]

Fabulous video!!! What brushes do you use?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Honestly I use some cheap brushes from Amazon. I'm hard on my brushes so I don't spend a ton of money on them.

[@kosta6137]

Awesome video!! My question is, when you use mecha pink .. is it being used to highlight and do the shadows ? Or more so just the shadows ?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Mostly Shadows but you can use a lighter tone for some highlights.

Yes it means to apply a matte coat over the model

[@bizzarocraw2412]

Question - would it make sense to preshade with the red tones? I keep thinking about how under my skin is the red blood so I thought maybe a similar principle could be used.

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Some people do but use a lighter coat of skin tones over it and some people use a zenethal technique

[@flojoairflojoair3369]

just curios for the washes cold you just use liquid watercolors instead ? (cos you wont need to thin it anymore )

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Im not sure. I've never tried that before. It may work.

[@kschantz]

What did you use for the gloss on the eyes? I assume you sealed it with the spray can after?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

I used a clear gloss paint from Vallejo

[@MichaelDeLawter]

Just a single layer of the trans red and yellow, or do you build those up more than that?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

You just want to cover the model. Layers don't really matter since you're taking it back off.

[@TwoTown]

Amazing video! When you put the Vallejo basic skin tone through the airbrush, what do you thin it with?

[@TheCreativeCollector]

Just Vallejo thinner or water
