At first, the eyes turned out really well but I botched one of them while painting on the flesh tones and never got it back to it&#8217;s original state. In fact, that whole side of the face ended up rough even after I tried stripping most of the paint off. I&#8217;m definitely going to have to start playing with different paint consistencies.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-304\" src=\"http:\/\/kaihaku.net\/roleplaying\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/painted-back-of-sarah-biltzer.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_20161212_072646071\" width=\"4160\" height=\"2340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kaihaku.net\/roleplaying\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/painted-back-of-sarah-biltzer.jpg 4160w, https:\/\/kaihaku.net\/roleplaying\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/painted-back-of-sarah-biltzer-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kaihaku.net\/roleplaying\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/painted-back-of-sarah-biltzer-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kaihaku.net\/roleplaying\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/painted-back-of-sarah-biltzer-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kaihaku.net\/roleplaying\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/painted-back-of-sarah-biltzer-533x300.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4160px) 100vw, 4160px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I have a big project coming up where I&#8217;ll need to layer colors so I decided to practice with Sarah&#8217;s hair. I did a colored base coat that I attempted to darken with several coats of black wash. It didn&#8217;t really do much to darken it. Next time, I&#8217;ll try a dark base coat with a lighter wash. I also gave the gigantic sniper rifle a metallic wash and I think it turned out nicely.
