Take a tip from Calvin

[Chas]

G'day,

One of the biggest and most common questions in Figure modelling is 'how do I paint faces?'

Well, take a tip or two from Calvin Tan, one of the most accomplished figure painters on the planet. He recently released this tutorial, showing how to build up layers with Vallejo acrylic to give warmth and depth to a face.

It is a 1:16 scale head, but the basic technique could still be applied to 1:35, 54mm, 1:48 etc.

Awesome tutorial. It takes a lot of skill which sadly can only be achieved with practice. :-\

Calvin Tans work is outstanding, he has done some articles for a Military mag here in the UK. I disremember which at the moment but i try to pick it up if he's done something in it, think the last one was an RAF pilot waiting for the scramble. Really clear explanations and great pics of the process. Great find youch i didn't know about this, thanks.
