Still need to fix up figures, but they are mostly complete.

Especially since figures usually look better in real life than on photos, but that style seems to lend itself well to photography. As you said, some touch-up remains to be done, but the overall look is great. Love the slightly brown-ish tinge to the red, very warm and saturated.

I usually use flesh colour to highlight red. No idea why.

Post by: Photographer on October 22, 2011, 09:16:35 PM: I agree. Thanks for that I never thought about black ink. I would have gone for brown. Cheers!

I usually use flesh colour to highlight red. No idea why.

Me too, it seems to stop red looking all 'pinky' as opposed to white or orangey as opposed to yellow. I guess as 'flesh' is in the orange spectrum it get the best of both worlds. I use 'flesh' colours for highlighting most other colours, unless I want a specific look.
'Flesh' colour is a weird term though; though everyone uses it, my son's skin is real dark mahogany and thats use 'flesh' colour too, but what else can you call it?
