In this 20 minute video I explain how to approach a skin in the most realistic way possible, putting an infinity of tones of pink, red, brown and green. I use a new technique to me that’s sketching roughly with various colors and then unify with the airbrush instead of with brush. The result is very smooth. I also focus on the face and how to enhance facial expressions as well as eyes, etc.

In these 8 minutes I show how to apply this technique for the silver color. I sketch with matte colors creating a non-metallic-metal and when I have this I apply a thin layer of metallic pigment to the base giving it that characteristic shine. What this technique allows you is to see the previous work under the layer of metallic pigment. I also paint the color Gold but this time with real metals and inks. Finally I paint the sword with airbrush creating several contrasts depending on the blade and reflecting the glitter of the forest.

In this 6-minute video I explain how to apply this citadel technical product to create the cracking effect. I give tones and other stuff until I reach the leather color I want.
