Advice on painting wardancers/a lot of elf skin
Hello everyone!
I would really appreciate some advice on how to paint elf skin and wardancers. I want as good looking as possible using a simple method.

there are so many ways to do it -
Personally I highlight (quite strongly) about 5 highlights from tanned flesh up to bleached bone - check out one of my wardancer units here :

That's the same as I do actually, though I stop at Elf Flesh. It's a very good way to do it. Though I begin with Scorched Brown so the Tanned Flesh goes on clearly on the black.emrys wrote:there are so many ways to do it -

I have just been painting the skin on my elfs elf flesh, really watered down chestnut ink, then a drybush of bleached bone and elf flesh mixed together. but ive been looking around and i think im gonna try dwarf flesh, then chestnut ink wash, then elf flesh highlight, then elf flesh and bleached bone mix highlight, then finally a really light highlight of bleached bone.
I need a better signature

I used to do tanned flesh, chestnut ink, highlights of dwarf flesh, elf flesh, and bleached bone, now i got rid of the ink because it makes the skin look shiny, but I still think that it can work.
@minireaper Tanned flesh is too dark to be put immediately next to elf flesh, dwarf flesh is what to use. IMHO.
