Thank you for making these tutorials you have such a good clean style,you make every head you paint look so great with out being over done.
And I just have a few questions how do you blend in the pink and the purple on the face is it with more light skin color?,And do you wait until it dries first? -Thanks

Looking Forward To Seeing More.:rock

That's true, but with practice I think these things are doable... my first paint ups were pretty terrible. I really wish I'd kept some of the images :lol

Thanks, I appreciate it :duff And yes, I use the light skin tone to blend back the pinks and purples. And you can really go either way on blending it when wet or dry, I tend to wait until it dries as I think it get's more of the look I prefer, but I've also had success blending it right away... especially if I'm just doing a quick touch up or a small area.

The video on eyes will be up shortly.
 
Re: GalactiCustom's Tutorials- Obi-Wan Kenobi Repaint Parts 1 & 2

Thanks Galactiboy So you just dry brush the light skin tone on after you do the the dark tone,and then dry brush the pinks and purples. And then blend with more light.
 
Re: GalactiCustom's Tutorials- Obi-Wan Kenobi Repaint Parts 1 & 2

Roughly... although on the pinks and purples I use a bit more than a dry brush; I put down a fairly solid layer and then blend them back in.
 
Re: GalactiCustom's Tutorials- Obi-Wan Kenobi Repaint Parts 1 & 2

Thanks Galactiboy Sorry about all the questions I just want to understand it right. :D
