Does anyone have a recipe for painting orangutans?
I am thinking of two shades of orange with a burnt umber (delvan mud) wash, all over a white primer so the color is lighter.
Does anyone have any ideas for this?
I am trying to paint up Lucid Eye's Red Simians. They're great figures but man, that orange color... I have no idea how to approach it!

I went for a red leather mixed with orange tone.

Carefully!
Ba dum tish.

Ha ha ha, that's funny.
What brands red and orange did you use? That mini looks great!
And what about that gray skin?

Pass, I blend my own colours, so who knows what brands went into them. But it was just a deep red-brown base, with drybrush highlights of red leather and orange in progressively lighter tones. the final drybrush highlight was a very subtle bit of bright yellow, just to pick out the fur texture. As for the grey skin … urm, just grey really.

That’s a beautiful figure. Well done.

I think cubs has it spot on.
It's more of a russet/burnt orange colour than anything vibrant.
Unhelpfully I was going to suggest that you took a long look at how GW paint the hair on dwarf slayers - and then utterly ignore it because it's crap.

I would have suggested sedating them first, but in effect that pointless joke has already been made. Shame, really.

Still funny. :-)

Thank you. I might also add - with all due humility - that it comes closer to answering the question, which was for a recipe rather than technique, so my response is undoubtedly objectively superior, and consequently my earlier diffidence was quite unwarranted.
