Last time we saw these guys was when I broke out the AB for the giant squig. Time to switch to bristles and lay in some mid tones...
Each of them has a undertone and so that was mixed in with the darkest flesh layer to tie them to their bases. Then it was just a matter of blending up to the lightest color.
Next up was the hoses...
Then the metals...
And of course the beards...
Wood on their weird barrels was next...
The lenses were one of the last things blocked in...
Finally I deepened the shadows and mids on the leather parts...
The under tone color was a mixed into the deepest shades of each set of colors even if it wasn't pictured with the other paints. I don't have a break down of ratios because I was just working straight from the pallet onto the mini mixing and blending as I went. I am getting more and more comfortable just blending as a I go and rarely use layering anymore, but you could layer the colors shown and then glaze them after with a shade or ink to pull them together.
Next post: Shades and glazes. Thanks for stopping by! Hit me up in the comments with any questions or critiques and remember; you can't spell paint without a little pain :)
