ProcedureAfter cleaning the figure and priming, I use the airbrush and spray from the bottom the Thornwood Green as a shadow base coat. Then using the airbrush, I spray the Traitor Green from the top (zenithal lighting) to get the base highlight. This gives us a good shadow and highlight sketch from which to work in the details with a brush. You can also spray another highlight from the top by adding a little Rucksack Tan to the Traitor Green.
Traitor Green Base
Base Shadow - Thornwood Green
1st and 2nd Highlight - Traitor Green & Rucksack Tan
Darker Shadow - Thornwood Green + Armor Wash
Rucksack Tan Base
Gun Corps Brown Shadow
Menoth White Highlight edges
3rd Highlight on the edges
Thin the P3 paint with distilled water or Vallejo Glaze Medium. Using thin glazes from a wet palette, apply them to the highlight and shadow areas, smoothing out the boundaries to get a smooth transition. I usually a good #1 or even a #2 brush for this. Use a #0 for smaller details and lining.

Base Shadow: Idrian FleshBase Highlight: Khardic Flesh 1st Highlight: Khardic Flesh + Midlund Flesh2nd Highlight: Midlund Flesh3rd Highlight: Midlund Flesh + Ryn Flesh4th Highlight: Ryn Flesh1st Shadow: Idrian Flesh + Bloodstone2nd Shadow: Bloodstone3rd Shadow: Armor Wash + 2nd Shadow (you may also use a thin version of armor wash)5 o’clock shadow: thin armor wash painted in streaks or short sharp lines. You may also stipple this in the appropriate areas.
For the lips and red nose, you can add some Midlund Flesh to Skorne Red or Sanguine Highlight. You may also add Menoth White Highlight to Skorne Red or to Sanguine Highlight.
The Brown Ink is really more of a Burnt Sienna color, and thinned down can be a great way to add some pop to your flesh, especially around the cheek wells and other shadowy areas.
Under the chin and in the dark areas of the face you can mix Cygnar Blue Base with Blood stone to get dark shadow. Umbral Umber is also good.
