Hi Darrell,
Love those close-ups and I'll use them for inspiration when I start Part 2 of my Beja chaps.
All the best,
Thanks Simon. I've been following your thread for inspiration and ideas too!

Great work as usual Darrell!

So for your Beja, what colors did you use, especially to recreate the skintones??? Please do share your secret knowledge with us mere mortals 
Thanks Rob.
I was lucky and bought the Foundry Skin tones set before their paints went a wee bity "oily"/thick and thin simultaneously (if you know what I mean?)
For the more reddish skin tone I used the African Flesh Triad (speeded up by having colours ready in a wet palette). i then added a further highlight of North African Flesh B just to bring the North African Flesh out a wee bit more. This took longer than the darker skin tones as outlines below:
For the darker skin tones (above) I used purely Dark African Flesh (again, ready in wet palette).
Having colours ready or mixed ready can really speed painting up. Or at least that's what I have found.
I am very tempted to speed things up even further which is why I'm watching
Simon's (Painterman's) thread closely here as he has certainly got some excellent results:
