My mix is similar, but I prefer to swap put about half that white for a flesch color. Save the whites for highlights. My usual mix is 2 pts flesch, 1 pt yellow ochare, 1 pt burnt sienna, and 1 part white. Then I vary the colors for highlights and shadows. Also, every face won't be the same so just eyeball the mix. Eyeballs, I use a light gray for the base color, then paint a black dot, followed by a smaller dot of the eye color, then a final opupil and a highlight. Then I use some future mixed with a SIMDGEN! of a dull red color. Coat that on top and where it pools in the corners, it'll give the apperance of the blood vessels in the eye. but be VERY sparing with the red. Like 1 drop of red for a dixie cup's worth of future. I'm not the best fig painter but this works well for me. Most of the ideas are taken from Adrian Hopwood's method of painting. |
