Tonight I got my brush out and sat down to paint something only to realise that is was 22.00. So I didn’t get that much done. Argentbadger had suggested I leave the flesh tones white, so I had a go at the Contrast white over the base colour of white and it was giving a bit of a shading, but it just didn’t look right. So I added a smidge of flesh tone into the white and added a fair bit of water… this was the effect…
It’s not white, but it is a really light skin tone. So a bit thanks to Argent as I really wasn’t sure what colour to do the faces etc.
I set the FDM printer away this evening and got the cottage printing again, this time at 65% original size. Part of me now thinks it might be a bit small, but I will see in fifteen hours time.
It has been a long two weeks since all the kids came back into school. I am now on Easter break and tomorrow morning I do not want to get up until I wake up… if that is 15.00 then so be it!

I reckon you came up with a very good paint mix there Steve, the faces look excellent.🙂

I like the mix too, it’s made this unsettlingly pale flesh tone that looks at home on GSC, nice one. Also, hope you enjoy your lie-in today!

Loving the GSC so far.
I know what you mean about the size of prints. I struggle to picture them in my hand even when given the actual dimensions in the slicer.
Cheers,

That skin tone really works, those contrast paints seem to work well mixed for you!
