For the face, I always try to pick eye brow and the nose. Purple/red for the lips, the tongue and the eye to ad distinctive spots. As you said, it's near impossible to pick the teeth individually, so a wash really help here. Finally a small spot of light in the eyes help a lot to bring life to the face. Here's is a super close-up to illustrate what I'm doing (hard to be super smooth but by picking just a few details I feel that brings enough definitions). Thanks buddy I'll try to fix them following your tip, I'll swap the purple with a reddish brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all thanks to vallejo red Magenta, which is a purplish red color quite transparent more layers of it, give a very rich and deep red, by adding either offwhite or orange you can warm it up for the highlight without turning it pink or orange 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting familiar with the blend Like the brownish shadows on the skin. Doing kind of same effect on my bayou. Also like the choice of colours on the other elements. Great job👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
