The First and Twelfth Doctors
Since the First and Twelfth Doctors have similar color schemes I thought I’d paint them first. The Twelfth Doctor should be especially easy since his outfit is mostly black. I started with black primer and a quick dry-brush of mid grey, followed by some white highlights.
My original plan was to use the speed-painting technique Romain demonstrated in a recent video. The idea was to get the basic tones down in black, grey and white, and then use thinned paint over that to add color. I found myself struggling with that for the skin tones here, so I ended up just painting his face and hands and adding a light wash to bring the details back out.
It's hard to see in this photo, but I did do the red lining of his jacket, even though it won't be visible when the mini is on the table.I decided to paint the First Doctor in monochrome, since the photo on his character card in the game is from a black and white episode. I chose not to spend time on the check trousers — although the mini does have a bit of the checkered pattern as a texture, I wasn’t able to really bring it out. I’ll save my energy for the eventual Sixth Doctor figure…
