Is there a location on the site where I can find all of these skin tone tutorials? They are so useful. Also wondering if you have any tips for painting Nepalese skin tones for my Bolt Action Gurkhas?
Thank you very much ! I’m glad they’re useful. On top of the page, in he header, you will see a “Hobby” tag with a little brush on it. If you click on it, you’ll see a list of tutorials. If you click on “more”, you’ll end up on a page with a lot of tags on it, where you can click to filter all of the hobby content of the site (mainly tutorials). There’s a tag marked “technique : skin”, as well as many others. If you’re looking for something specific, you can always search for it with the… Read more »
Thanks for the tips on Nepali skin tone, Romain. Much appreciated, mate.
You can find all of the Skintones in the recent pages of 3 Colours Up category.

No wonder I make videos : It took me a whole paragraph to say what you summed up in one sentence… 🙂
I know what you mean.
I know what you mean…
Informative and relaxing as always Romain.
No butts shall go un-highlighted! Great tutorial as always, Romain!
yet again you make it look so easy to do Romain.
Very cool – just what I wanted, thanks Romain!
I had my notebook and pen with me whilst I watched, so your recipe is in the cookbook.
The only problem I have is the fact that my paint rack is almost exclusively Vallejo; I was thinking of substituting Plague Brown and Dark Skintone for the first and second shade colours respectively. I hope that they’re reasonably close!
Thank you… but recipes only get you so far ! 🙂
In learning all things there are three steps :
Step one : follow the recipe, screw things up.
Step two : know the recipe, end up with a decent result.
Step three : understand the underlying principles of the recipe, swap things, make it your own.
The idea is indeed to change things, colours, brands… But don’t change things because they’re close to what the colour is in the recipe, change things because you actually like the colour and want to consciously change the end result. Trust your eye for colour ! 🙂
Thanks so much for this, these are so hard to find!!! While I don’t use game colour, mostly due to the fact that they are not as easily available in my area, (or at all) I really love this.
I have found that one best things for skin is just doing it yourself again and again.
Come and join that massive ‘monster’ on the forums and show off one of these beauties done up after the skin tone. We need people to know about your tutorials 😀
I was getting a bit worried that your next step was going to be telling me “there is no spoon”!
I’ll go with the painting zen wisdom, grand master.
Just a note: “Chinese” is a nationality. China, as a nation, has people of all skin tones and ethnicity’s. In the future you may consider phrasing this a bit differently – it could be offensive to folks.
Wondered how long it would be before someone said something like that… In all of his “skin ethnicity series” videos, Romain explains at length about how it’s a bit daft to slap a name on a skin paint scheme and in this very video explains the variety of skintones that exists in China. Even to the point of mentioning trends in different provinces and latitudes. Henceforth, I recommend that in order to reduce the risk of someone getting offended, all of the skintone video series should be renamed to be as non-descriptive, condescending and pejorative as possible. My suggestion for… Read more »
I’m sorry you got offended by the title… I’m also sorry I don’t get to choose the title. And I’m even more sorry that you obviously haven’t watched this very video, in the introduction of which I explain exactly that.
Also, just a note : being offended on behalf of others, especially following a lack of information, is pretty condescending… let people decide for themselves if they’re offended or not.
Usually I would let sleeping dogs lie and not say anything. However, the problem with comments such as these is two fold. First, your suggesting someone may take insult, not yourself but someone else. I would please like you to think of it in this context and you may appreciate why people react in such a way… ‘I am not saying that “I” would hit you but someone else might.’ Could you understand how that may be take, with some ill intent? To my make my language plan, what you have done is shallow threat to a painter whom in… Read more »
Thank you, @caladors !
Your genestealers look good nonetheless !
What’s evne weirder with this comment is that it’s basically claiming racism when the very purpose of these tutorials is to make the tables more ethnically diverse, and to get out of the whitewashed battles we have now…
ha ha I know, I am actually pretty happy with my Africans skin types. The very dark is good, lighter I have trouble with but the Asian skin tones I have had a lot of trouble with. I see my problem with your video I was trying to blend into reds with flesh tones, but I should have been blending into browns instead. Which is obvious when you think about it… but such is life. Here is close up of Africans and then the Asian in the second one http://i719.photobucket.com/albums/ww199/caladors/DSC00300.jpg http://i719.photobucket.com/albums/ww199/caladors/DSC00303.jpg But it costs us nothing to believe that this… Read more »
I think you can even push the contrast some more… don’t be afraid to shade the asian some more, and to highlight the african one as well !
Great video as always. Love you work.
Thanks for a really nice tut! i havent seen the other tuts youve done on skintones but now i will. great stuff. as a teacher I really apreciate your pedagigical skills. ill try to follow one of your tuts and see what happens.
That’s an amazing compliment ! Thank you very much. I actually teach languages when I’m not painting miniatures.
