Trout Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I'm a noob at this and don't have much of an art background, so I could use some guidance on choosing the right colours. I don't like blond, so I'm thinking either ginger or black for his beard. But if I go with a ginger beard and his pants are also red, does that end up looking too dull? If so, what do I with the pants? What are some good recipes for ginger beards and black beards? I consider the skin done, do you agree, or is there anything else I should be doing to it?

Dead_Ghost Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Skin looks good! There's a Warhammer tv video on black hair here: https://youtu.be/BwXQoNzMh74 Sent from my G3221 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Skin looks ace! If you feel there is anything it needs, you could try a very thin red wash in the recesses. You could always try black with streaks of ginger, or turning grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I always like grey, no art student either, but!!!! I painted over 200 dwarfs in my life and the silver grey ones are the most memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your recipe for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I'll look up two or three examples tonight/tomorrow. I don't think I ever wrote them down though. But the basis always was: a stone grey layer (watch out for stone colors with bit of blue in them), little bit of ink to get some depth and a pale grey highlight. Finishing of with some very thin white highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Grey would be cool, it'd give a wizened older warchief vibe and add a little more character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
