Thanks, guys.

Skin tones are definitely challenging and I've found a new to paint them which is cool.

Honestly I couldn't tell you exactly what colors I used exactly as there were about 12-15 layers of paint to achieve that look.
What I did was I painted him from dark to light, gradually building up my colors using transparent paints. I have the whole range of skin tones from Garage Kit Colors and I always keep mixing them. I never use them right out of the bottle.

Pastels were also used quite a bit. They make a real difference imho

What did you use the pastals for did you wet them or dry brush them?

cool thanks for the info i guess you just have to play with the skin tones to bring them out in certain ways .. im almost finished getting all the supplies i need to start tackling my kits hopefully i dont ruin them ha the only thing that makes me nervous is the skin tones

and i like the idea of using pastels im assuming its for subtle shading?

I always use dry pastels. Using water makes them all muddy

I use pastels to enhance what I've done with the airbrush. Could be shading or simply adding a little color here and there. Red can be useful on the cheeks, chest, elbows, etc
The possibilities are endless

All right, last update before final!
