TUTORIAL: How I paint Ork skin (Death Skullz)

Hey Painters!

So this is how I painted the skin for my Death Skull Ork Nob. I am just concentrating on the face for this but the technique was used for the whole body. I have used GW paints for all of this process.

Step One:

I have duel primed the model with Chaos Black Spray first, then from above at a 45 degree angle with Skull White Spray. I do this to help define the features to make it easier to paint and it give it a good surface to paint over.

Step Two:

I base coated the model with Warboss Green thinned down 1:1 with water and applied multiple layers to model until I was happy with the coverage.

Step Three:

I then washed the recesses with 1:1 mix of Biel-Tan Grenn and Carroburg Crimson. I let that dry before a thin glaze of just Biel-Tan Green over the whole model.

Step Four:

I the applied the first highlight with Skarsnik Green again thinned down. I just hit the parts where I think the light would hit.

Step Five:

I then started on the blue war paint. For this I used Caledor Sky. I roughly paint half of the face. I didn't get right into the recesses with this, firstly I didn't want touch the shading and also I wanted to leave some of the green skin showing.

Step Six:

Using a small piece of sponge I gently dabbed on some Warboss Green to give the effect that some of the war paint has worn off.

Step Seven:

I then went back in with the Skarsnik Green highlight on the exposed skin under the war paint.

Step Eight:

For the final highlight I used Kislev Flesh

Step Nine:

I lightly base coated the lips with Daemonette Hide and based the teeth with Zandri Dust

Step Ten:

I highlighted the teeth with Ushabti Bone then Screaming Skull. Then the lips with  a 2:1 mix of Daemonette Hide and White Scar. To finish i thinned down a little Blood for the Blood God with Lahmian Medium and ran along the inside of the lip to give the effect of a gum-line.

And that's it, hope you liked. I will show you the finished model next time.

Later!
