I remember trying to emulate the techniques in the painting guide and that's what I came up with. Although I'm not the best painter I always feel a sense of accomplishment when I complete a figure.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-3514760315188942522014-12-07T09:27:14.646-07:002014-12-07T09:27:14.646-07:00Hey, I've seen much worse!

Either use the flesh colour first, or black or brown and then the flesh colour. <br /><br />Basically, just tidy up the bulging look by letter-boxing what you've painted, with the flesh colours used. That's all I do when this happens to me. Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-78170525876085265702014-12-06T10:00:41.711-07:002014-12-06T10:00:41.711-07:00Thanks Dean, I've got 20 of them all told.
