Full Step by Step with our XXIc. Queen and alternative head
Primed with spray
This are the main colours for the skintone, then i will add some others but not as important.
Basecoat with reddish skin, from Nocturna models
I always add a bit of magenta close to the eyes and nose to feel it more meaty at the end.
Next layer with a mixture of reddish flesh and base flesh
Next layer with base flesh
Some lights, a bit more controlled with base flesh and medium flesh
Same as before but adding a bit of fairy flesh
Now starting to detail, is good to start painting some elements to see how the face is really going
Detailing a bit more the eyes and the lips
More lights with a mixture of medium flesh and fairy flesh
Start detailing the eyes and adding some tones close to the eyes with a glaze of magenta
Finish with the eye detailing
To clean a bit i use airbrush in the shadows, with a mixture of reddish flesh and black
With the airbrush we will lose some lights, so we have to work again with the last light we did
Some more shadows with a mix of reddish flesh and a dark green of some sort
Starting with the hair, basecoat with a dark grey
Adding white, and leaving some interior parts of the hair
Same with more white and less space
Last one with pure white
This is how the face will look at the end
Dress: starting with airbrush, basecoating with any pure red
Shadows with the same red + rhinox hide from citadel
Some bone colour for the white parts, maybe you should give a couple of layers
Giving some volume to the chest with the shadow
Outlining is very important, it helps to diferenciate elements and improves readability
Same on ribbons, light adding more white and shadows adding more brown
Last couple of details and she is done!
