NMM Color Recipe 		step-by-step: celtos female druid

2nd Part: Painting the face.
IMHO, Painting face is the most important part of a success figure painting. That's why I have this section by its own.

I put blacklining the eye socket and the lips with Vallejo Camo Black Brown.

Let's see... I want the hair to be black, like myself ;) But I also want her to look mystical, so I decided to give her bluegreen-grey eyes, kinda elfish look.

Started by painting the eyeballs with ivory.

Mix of Vallejo Bronze Green with Black for the base color of the pupil.

Followed with Vallejo Blue Sea Grey - half bottom of the pupil to keep the base color as the iris.


Black hair: Basecoat black, highlight with adding Vallejo Offwhite - focusing only on the top of the head.

Lips: Basecoat with Vallejo Camo Black, highlight with Vallejo Red Leather - accentuate by adding Ivory to Red Leather for light reflection on the bottom lip.
