Stubbly issues

[kenshin393]

What's everyone's preferred acrylic washes for stubble then? What colour blend am I after?

 

[Babelfish]

Don't know about acrylics Ken as I only use them for base coating, but I find that a small amount of Delft Blue oil blended in works a treat.

I do similar to Steve, but I use the tiniest bit of Prussian blue added to the base flesh color, for 5 o'clock shadow, just the point of a 00 brush dipped into the blue, a smidge, an idea, a hint, of the color.

Prost!

Paynes Grey for me (oils) just a touch for light more for heavy stubble

Cheers chaps. Just occured to me, I should've called this "stubble trouble".

Diluted sepia ink mixed with vallejo flesh.

Thank you all, I've gone for a 30:30:30:10 mix of basic flesh, pink flesh, black and midnight blue, thinned waaaaaaay down. Seems to do the trick.

That's looking good mate
My mix is Paynes Grey with a wee bit of Prussian Blue.
Nice soft brush with virtually no colour on it carefully dabbed in place.
Remember where it covers bone like the jaw line you can try a light overlay with PG mixed with a little Tit White.
Looks like you've acheived this
Cheers

Thanks Derek
I re edged the jawline with thinned down highlight then shaded under the cheeks with a dark red-brown. Glad it shows.
