Skaven Skin on the Plague Monk from Skabikk's Plaguepack

Hi fellow Wizards and Necromancers!

In this tutorial we will continue painting the beautiful Plague Monk model from the new Skabikk Plaguepack – I will show you how to paint Skaven skin. Explanation on layer and glaze consistency is on the last slide. Let’s get into the tutorial!A PDF version of this tutorial is also available for your convenience - it is attached below. Let’s get into the tutorial!

1. We will start with a layer consistency Cadian Fleshtone. 2 thin coats will do just fine.

2. Next up, we will add some shading, using 2 glaze consistency coats of Mournfang Brown. Remember to always let the paint dry before applying the next coat of paint. If you don’t – you will get a unpleasant staining effect on your model.

3. Start applying highlights using layer consistency Kislev Flesh. Focus on all of the raised areas, placing the lighter tone of paint just on the surfaces, that are sticking out the most.

4. Use a glaze consistency 1:1 mix of Kislev Flesh and Ushabti Bone, to push the highlights further.

5. We will follow the previous step with a coat of Ushabti Bone in Glaze consistency, focusing on the wrist area and on the knuckles, so two areas that are opposite to each other.

6. Next, we will use layer consistency Ivory from AK Interactive or Pallid Wych Flesh, to create a spot highlight. We will add it on just a few areas that are sticking out the most, so on the edges of the knuckles and on the wrist bone.

7. Next up, we will use a single glaze consistency coat of Tuskgor Fur to add a warm tone to the area around the knuckles. This is to show the plague undertone of the Skavenskin, rotten or bruised in some places.

8. In the final step, we will just use White (I use the one from AK Interactive) in glaze consistency, again, on the very brightest spots, to create a shiny feeling on the skin. This will make the skin pop.

And here is a collage of the steps for convenience:

Thank you very much for supporting me – it means the world to me! I dream of being able to paint and make tutorials full time, so if you like my Patreon – please tell your friends about it. It would make a massive difference to me and hopefully it will be beneficial for your friends too :)

*Layer consistently = paint mixed in a 1:1 ratio with water.

*Glaze consistently = paint mixed in a 1:3 ratio with water.

Best wishes,
