Er1k Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 ~Hi folks I'm really trying to get my crew fully painted for a Malifaux demo at my FLGS. I have one Ronin left to finish and one of my Viktorias to be completely done. My main problem is I'm struggling to get the blonde hair for my Viktoria done correctly. I have the full range of GW paints, does anyone have any good hints and tips for painting blonde hair Thanks in advance Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nilus Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 What kinda blond are you going for? Basic, Strawberry, Platinum, dishwater, dyed etc. Blond comes in a lot of varieties and they paint vary differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancy_Hat Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/259096.page This is a tutorial I used for my showgirls that I found worked really nicely, you can alter it a bit to make it more yellow or more brown or whatever you would like.

Er1k Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 ~Hi Folks Thanks for the advice. I'll check out the links and then give it a bash tomorrow night, it will take me the rest of the night to finish my last Ronin. Then I'll just have one night to do my Viktoria. Looks like it'll be another 2 late nights for me, lets just hope I'm not too tired to go to the demo on Thursday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I like GW Snake Bite Leather with a GW Bubonic Plague Brown Nighlight for Blonde Hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntiZombie Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 no matter what start off with a nice brown and work up to the desired yellow i want finishing with a highlight of white/bleached bone. I usually go beasty brown ( same across most ranges). Eric J (our fearless leader) put up some nice info about painting hair. I can't remember where it is but it sums up to this: Don't highlight every strand. Paint the hair just like you would paint cloth and ignore the strands.

TheOneWhoFell Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 *Ash blonde - bleached bone *strawberry blonde - basic yellow, red wash, yellow/gold/bleached bone dry brush *strawberry blonde - a "pinky" red with yellow or bleached bone dry brush *dirty blonde - snake bite leather with bleached bone dry brush *dark blonde - snake bite leather with devlan mud wash, possibly a dry brush of something lighter *bleach blonde - skull white with yellow dry brush.

Deputy David Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 This is going to be a big help as I just started painting them myself. Thank you all for the tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
