[PAINTING]: How to paint Asian & African flesh tones?

[Twinstar]

Hey there,

I am pretty good at Caucasian flesh tones, but I would like to learn how to
get realistic Asian and African flesh tones on some of my marines. I use
Citadel paints.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!!

Testers Modelmaster Acryl line has a flesh tone series (light and dark base
tone, plus highlight and shadow tints) that work wonders for almost any skin
color.

In general, you can use a slightly red brown for the skin base on dark skinned
individuals, while a slightly browned flesh tan works well for the asian skin
tones.

For really dark African skin, a base coat of bubonic brown (I may have got
the name wrong - it's the gingerbread brown, not the puke brown), followed
by a flesh wash and then very light highlighting with a 50-50 mix of bronzed
flesh and snakebite leather.
