Yogie Paints Large Minis and Busts

After putting in the shadows, it was a bit too purple for my liking and so I needed to add in a bit more colour to make it a bit more lifelike.

I then grabbed my Reaper Master series Rosy Shadow paint thinned it about 6 or so to 1 for a glaze, wiped off tje majority of the paint and glazed all over the mini and transitions giving it that more flesh colour. I also went back and forth with my shadow glaze to make sure I got the colours and transitions as smooth as I could.

For the lips which I’m not sure I did very well, I mixed the rosy shadow with my basecoat of cold flesh and laid it on both lips.

I then got some reaper brick red to put small lines ala cuts on the lower lip again going back and forward until I was happy with the colour.

Finally for the beard I used reaper walnut brown, reaper blackened brown and again tried to lighten it again with my cold flesh basecoat which I’m not entirely sure I managed.

Next came the eyes utilising a 6 step process that I learnt in the class.

1. Use a dark red to fill the entire eye ball. I used Valleji’s hull red.

2. Fill eye with Ivory leaving the red outline. I used Vallejo Ivory.

3. Fill in the iris using a dark colour, I used Reaper walnut brown.

4. Use a lighter colour to highlight the eye on the bottom left of the eye. I used Reaper Dark Flesh.

5. Fill in the pupil using black so it sits above the highlight.

6. Place a white dot in the corner of the pupil.

This is easier said than done but here is what I ended up with.

Here is the final result of the face. I’m happy with it at the moment but things always change in the morning.
