Thank you all for the kind compliments and my apologies for being inactive so long on these boards. For the skin tones, I base coated a mix of Vallejo carmine red and of off white with about a 70/30 ratio to give it a warm undercoat. I next blocked out the cheeks with undiluted carmine, the eye orbits with Vallejo Prussian blue, and the side of the head with flat green; don't have pics but at this point she looked like a clown, lol. The entire face (and chest area) was then covered with a mix of the base lightened with Vallejo basic skin tone which served as the midtone, gradually applied with several thin glazes highlighting with dilutions of the midtone till we're left with pure skin tone for the high points. I next added a blue wash for eye shadow . To make the cheeks more life like, I sparingly applied a red siena pastel; lips were a mixture of carmine red with orange red, highlighted by adding a little of the skin midtone. Finished it all off by spraying everything with a satin clear coat.
Hope that helps!
