If you turn you image to greyscale, you can see which areas would benefit from a boost to the contrast.
In your original photo, the girls legs appear darker than the skirt (and if you add in some brighter highlights, it’s really make a difference) but you can see how there’s very little difference between the top of the dress and the flesh on her chest; by darkening the skin a little towards the bottom, adding brighter highlights along the top edge of the skirt (or both) you can create a “natural” dividing line between flesh and cloth. The other alternative (which, personally, I quite like, but a lot of people don’t because of the “cartoony 90s vibe it creates) is “blacklining” or just a dark line to divide the two sections.
Similarly, the guys tunic and flesh colours are quite close (though there’s some nice separation going on, as the bottom of his “smock” appears to have a black line before the legs). I’d be tempted to paint the tunic a leather brown, or something a bit darker, just so – even in black-and-white – it stands out from the main colour of the mini.
Of course, it’s all just opinion. As I said, I think the minis look great – they have a natural “realness” to them that I’ve long since given up trying to achieve on my own minis (black lines and cartoon goofiness all the way for me!)
Because every village needs drunks, fighting ne’er do wells covered in sweat and mud, and toilets!
Tiny Furniture’s “Sitting Folks” KS starts today. Guess what set #21 is about. :P<br />https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/harvestofwar/sitting-folks-high-quality-miniatures-in-sitting-poses/
Meanwhile, Sally 4th’s “Blackstone Heath: Villagers 2” KS continues. So I painted their drunks and brawlers sets from their previous KS. Villagers love brown! :P<br />https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blackstone/blackstone-heath-the-villagers-part-2
