Paint Jaw Dropping Ginger Hair

[@KhorneliusPraxxGames]

More Kujo greatness. thanks

[@KhorneliusPraxxGames]

Now I wish my current project, Blood Bowl Treemen, had long wavy hair.

[@KujoPainting]

With a bit of milliput they could!

[@KujoPainting]

You're welcome :)

[@KhorneliusPraxxGames]

@@KujoPainting Treemen are not mammals and therefore will never have hair. 😝

[@KujoPainting]

Just paint it green and say it's long moss :)

I love that you created the realistic halos of shine, and your colours were really gorgeous, showing the mixing of them is absolutely painting gold. I understand the use of yellow in relation to the clothing and the purpose of the dotted extreme highlights but to me they shattered the pattern of the light you'd made. I'm going back to your back catalogue to focus on your palette and your colour/pigment mixing, talented work carefully presented

[@JoeBeddoe1]

Simply stunning and beautiful I wanna see how you did the rest fo the model. :)

[@sophovot5079]

Kujo your tutorials are always amazing and just what I need! This tutorial will completely change the way I paint hair for sure. Thank you!

[@goforitpainting]

Really cool paint job. 🖌

[@KujoPainting]

Thanks!

Great tutorial Kujo I've seen a lot of redhair tutorials, and most are a dogs breakfast, all over the place and not appealing. This one is a keeper, thanks for making it.

Thanks, Kujo, for this tutorial. The hair looks very realistic.

[@KujoPainting]

I'm glad you like it. Thanks!

[@Vortid]

Great! I feel so inspired when I watch your videos. Gotta go paint something!

[@KujoPainting]

I had a bit of a break from painting, going to get back to it today. Best of luck to the both of us.

[@NoUseForAName06]

Very timely upload as I have just bought various Ariadna models. 😀

[@KujoPainting]

Nice, haven't painted one of those in ages. They're great.

[@The_Bat]

Brilliant as usual. I'm looking forward to the painting tartan videos!

[@KujoPainting]

Ireland has the highest number of red-haired people per capita in the world, with the percentage of those with red hair at around 10%. In Scotland, around 6% of the population has red hair, with the highest concentration of red head carriers in the world found in Edinburgh, making it the red head capital of the world.

Question if you where to paint the ginger hair in a cold tone what colors would you use?

[@KujoPainting]

Hmm, I suppose it depends on what you're trying to achieve. Can you give me a bit more information?

[@KujoPainting]

I'm not sure if you want to just reduce the vibrancy of the colour or actually use cold colours to represent the orange.

[@KujoPainting]

You could use coldER colours, like more of a dark purpely brown for your base then a less intense orange for the mid tone, like a coppery orange. then maybe some kind of light green to build up the highlights.

[@BinxyBrown]

So ginger hair is pretty saturated, in a cold light it would be slightly less vibrant but it will still be orange, basically you would highlight up with white or a very subtle pastel blue but the end result is that the shadows will be more warm and orange and your highlight will be a flatter more desaturated orange

[@eab22]

Thanks, Kujo! How'd you paint stubble this way? Say you're painting a trollslayer and they have a mohawk and you want to create the illusion the hair is cropped on the sides of the scalp?

[@KujoPainting]

No probs, good question. So for stubble, it depends a little on the scale of the model. For very small figures I would just glaze over the area you want the stubble effect with a darker version of the hair colour. So in this case (ginger hair) I'd make a glaze with a dark brown and lightly draw it over the areas I want to create stubble, usually over the jaw but in your case, the side of the head. You'd have to build it up over a few layers until you get the required effect. For a larger model I'd do the same thing but also add lots of tightly grouped dots using stippling to the give the area some visible hair texture. Hope that helps!

[@eab22]

@@KujoPainting thank you! Would you mix this with the skin tone?

[@KujoPainting]

You don't need to mix it. The glaze is transparent so if you think about it, the skin tone actually shines through from underneath. It essentially mixes the two colours together for you automatically if that makes sense.

[@iangreen4572]

I mix red with gold

[@KujoPainting]

As in metallic golds?

[@carlmayne3519]

Had a Girlfriend with this colour hair when i was younger ... Looks Gorgeous :D .. How long did this entire process take you and do you use any form of retarder in your paint / palette to keep your paints a little more liquid-y I've found kimera really thick and it's hard to keep them from drying out, even on a wet palette.

[@KujoPainting]

I don't use retarders, typically I just put a drop of water on my palette and use that when I want to thin the paint. Not sure what sort paper you're using for your wet palette. I know a lot of the store bought ones use quite a porous paper, I find baking paper works a lot better, the water doesn't sink through it, it's much easier to control the consistency that way. I'm not sure how long it took, filming things adds a lot of time on top so it's hard to give a meaningful estimate but probably about an hour or so.

Rubricated. Cheers

[@KujoPainting]

I had to look that up lol.

Heads-Up, Kujo: Word on the street is, Scarlett Johansson is going to steal your skin.

[@KujoPainting]

Tell me about it. Keep finding her lurking about the house. Nightmare!
