Painting
the face of a figure is the most important phase. The face will
give your character personality, the expression on the face is your
choice, you need to differentiate between a doll and a reproduction
of past reality. Please do not be shocked with the technique that
I am going to teach you, as you can achieve everything with a bit
of practice.
Get
three oil paint colours: white, ochre and toasted earth.
.
.
Mix the three colours
together, use a greater amount of earth and white and a amount of
ochre. This mixture will be the one that we use as a base for the
flesh. The colour that we want all depends on what image you want
to give your figure (was he a soldier in the desert or in the cold),
you can then decide to add more or less or the earth colour.
