Painting Ghoul Skin Tutorial

[Blasphemia Blackwood]

Step-by-step pale skin recipe I use for my AoS ghouls.

Basecoat: Citadel Celestra Grey.



Wash of watered-down Citadel Rakarth Flesh over the entire skin area.



Wash of Citadel Agrax Earthshade to add strong shadows and define detail.




Wash of Citadel Carroburg Crimson on the face, hands, feet and warts.



Highlight with Citadel Celestra Grey. Special care on the details of the face, as that is the main focal point on the miniature.



Another highlight with Citadel Celestra Grey + white, to enhance depth.



A subtle glaze of blue under the eyes, nose, in the ears and on the lower lip.



The rest of the miniature painted.

Looking good. Thanks, I like the effect you have achieved, especially thing like the little touches of blue.

Thanks for the tutorial. You made it look so easy! (But for sure it is not )

That is a great tutorial which delivers wonderful results.
 

I am fan of plenty of washes but had not considered blue on flesh.
I shall have to give that a go.
