Hi,
Here the last article I made for advanced painting technics :
http://miniaturefootball.org/2010/01...-step-by-step/
In that article, you'll see how I paint my figures skin tone. No magic but method, as always in modelling.
BTW...You'll see that I don't use (or for other very particular things) drybrush !
I hope it will help.
Dimitri
