Lol.. yet again from out of nowhere information that might be of use for us as mini painters. I was going through Kickstarter.. sorry @evilstu I’m just a bad influence in throwing things your way with that site… and I happened to catch a project regarding military pinup cards. @oriskany You liked the with pinup I painted, here are playing cards to look over.

I scrolled down and saw how the color was being chucked on and I thought about all the tutorials regarding painting flesh there are. This is a speed paint for one of the cards but it highlights everything that should be considered with smoothing out skin. It doesn’t immediately work with acrylic paints (though the idea of the blending works from working with oil paint) but once acrylics are given a drop of additive to extend the work time this might well be something to puzzle with mentally. It might give some people reason to start using a wet palette to keep the paint viable for such things. I also like the music addition as I don’t need to do any edits to make it be fancy.
