Painting a miniature figure PART 1

Prime the miniature with white primer to ensure paint adhesion and protection, apply thin, uniform coats, and repeat for a second coat after the first dries.

Learn to paint the skin of a miniature figure with airbrush techniques, starting with a base layer, then highlights from above and bottom shadows, varying mixtures for chromatic variety.

paint the skin and nearby elements to observe highlights against white primer, then blend musculature with intermediate tones for a smooth gradient.

Proceed to the face after the body, keep colors the same, intensify highlights and contrast to draw attention, then shadow, blend, and refine with red and white on lips.

Apply a base layer to cloth parts of the miniature, wait for it to dry, outline shadow areas, and mark highlights with diluted color; blend, then repeat on the skirt.

Apply a first light to the cloth, build texture with dotting and highlights, define a slender cut with shadow and light lines, and blend the outer skirt with base color.

Paint the metal over a dark base, outlining shadows in black and following the modeling profile, then apply the first shadow with black ink while tracing engravings to guide drawing.

Apply the base color after the shadow dries, highlight relief areas to emphasize filigree, and outline highlights with a light color for a non-metallic finish, including the shield.

Paint fur and hair on a miniature by applying a diluted base layer, then build highlights and shadows to illuminate individual hairs and emphasize the leather strings in brown.
