One thing I absolutely won’t compromise on is faces (and, in particular, eyes). I used to just slap on some Agrax Earthshade (or Army Painter Strong Tone) over a flesh base and call it done. But since learning how to paint eyes (thanks to a Lyla Mev video about six months ago) it’s the one thing I won’t compromise on. I think they really add to the “wow factor” of a mini. Even if – as you can see – the rest of my painting isn’t exactly brilliant (though these are still only at the “blocking in” stage) a nicely painted face can cover a whole multitude of sins!
The thing is, a well-painted face doesn’t actually take *that much* more time than block-and-wash. Contrast paint here is doing a lot of the heavy lifting (Guilliman flesh) with just a t-shape of Kislev flesh on the nose, two upside-down triangles for cheeks and a line across the forehead/browline.
