oriental skintones

[gforceman]

Hi all,

I have some figures with oriental skintones I would like to paint, but I'venaver painted an oriental skin before. I have some idea's on what colours to use, but maybe someone with some experience on this can help avoid making mistakes? I prefer painting with acrylics, but fi a good oilmix comes up I can try that too.

Many thanks in advance for all your help.

Greetz,

Gino

It's in french language but acrylic color code is universal

Have a nice day

Hello Gino,

Here's the palette I used for my Beijing Belle. I hope it's self-explaining. All colours are oils.
