How do I create realistic flesh colours?
There are many paint manufacturers who make flesh tone paints, all of which give a human look to your figures.
I personally use Vallejo acrylic paint and there are various skin tones available, but I use Vallejo beige red as a base coat and then build up the detail from there.
If you have ever watched a lady putting on makeup, the principle is just the same: you start with foundation then add some blusher eye makeup and lipstick.
The only difference is that you add a shadow to the hair line and the sides of the nose.
