Just paint the raised areas of the model in the lighter shades of the base colour. With this technique however you must use paint that is thinned down like an ink. When painting with paint this thin you will need to give each shade a few coats (about three or four) but this is an advantage as when you paint the highlights, you do not need to use lots of shades. This is because each coat you paint onto the figure, the brighter and more solid the highlight becomes. This way you only need to use two or three highlight shades rather than six or seven. The results are much smoother and brighter.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#777777" FACE="Arial" ><U><<Previous Section</U></FONT>  |  <A HREF="id187.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Advanced Eyes"><U>Next Section>></U></A>  |  <A HREF="id77.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Veteran"><U>Back to Veteran</U></A></div> <bR> <div> This not answer your painting needs? <A HREF="id25.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact"><U>click here</U></A> to email us a <A HREF="id25.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact"><U>question</U></A>, or <A HREF="id70.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Painting Guide"><U>here</U></A> to try another level of skill.</div> <bR> <div> Is there anything you would like to add or a section/technique you think should be added to the painting guide? why not send us an <A HREF="id335.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contributons"><U>email</U></A> about it.
