Hey everyone, I need some help with painting figures with acrylics. I have been modeling armor for a few years now, so I've got some basic skills down but I am terrible at painting flesh on figures. I recently purchased a lot of Vallejo Model Color paint (Military Colors and Flesh Tones sets) and I would like to use those. Can anyone recommend a tutorial for beginners? I have a the Shep Paine and Lynn Kessler books but I don't think I'm bright enough for them! lol! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
