Hi everyone
Have a couple of headsculpts i had painted for me but the skin tone is on the fake tan side a little bright does anyone know how to dull them down or make them lighter without having a whole repaint any tips and instructions would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks
 
In order to lighten the tone you would need to paint. As for the sheen, I use tester dull coat after painting then gloss the eyes and hair as needed.
 
I do the same... however, sometimes I find the dulcoat can be too matte. An inbetween option is to use model masters flat acryl and dulcoat. So first brush on the acryl and let it dry. Even though it says it's flat, it's got a bit of sheen to it. Then hit that with the dulcoat; I find that gives a fairly realistic look to skin without being to shiny or dry looking.
