I am working on a 1/16 bust of a samurai. Any ideas on color to use for asian flesh? I am using oils. I either make it too pink or too brown. Thanks for the help in advance guys!
Hey Glacier01,
welcome,

well the only tone I found that works good is tan. Sry i cant b much help but you might try using that along with a shadow tone and a pink tint.
nicely written article. I may have not given enough dry time between oil layers when I was using oils, now Im using Reaper acrylics, which are very simliar in all regards to Vallejo and include skin tone “triads” pre mixed for generic skin tones. I can cut or modify the tones with an undercoat color or a filter on top.
