Hello,
Anyone got any ideas on painting chinese flesh using Citadel paints or army painter.

Any help would be great.
Thanks

Not familiar with the paints you mentioned but I use a mix of tanned flesh, golden brown and leather brown with the same mix with pale flesh added for highlights. I also use a very watered down black wash before the highlights.

I'm afraid I'm using Vallejo paints, but I go with a triad of medium flesh, sunny skin and basic skin

Here is the best discussion of painting skin tones I have ever found. Hope it helps.

For Asian flesh, I find normal flesh paint followed by a wash with a yellow-brown ink (I use Daler/Rowney Antelope Brown) gives a nice golden skin tone.

I use the Foundry triad which works a treat for a cliche kinda nuance. I suppose the Chinese, which is a hugely ethnically diverse nation, have a wide array of skin tones, from very pale white to dark sun tan, but if you, like me, want a sun tanned, slightly sienna colored set of miniatures, you can follow my advice.

I also use the Foundry Triad but for Army Painter try Kevin Dallimore's links in the Northstar magazine for his colours - Japanese but cloe enough?
