Hi friends,

Alexander, I've discovered an old tread, but still very useful and the link is still working.

I've saved the page for my reference.

Anyway, a question: Is it suggested to start with dark primer ?
usually I do apply black primer, but maybe it is not the best in all cases

Cheers

Giovanni

thank you for a link! it may be helpful!)

Thanks for the update

That link no longer works; CMON appears to have reorganized their website. This link: Ethnic Skintones is where I found the article a short while ago.

very useful link cheers

Thanks thanks and thanks as a couple of figures in my bench at the moment required "non-Caucasians" skin tones...MD

Thanks for sharing, AJLaFleche!

There's excellent info ... and some veery interesting pictures! :-)

Thanks for posting this Al, I might just be able to finish off a few more pieces now

Great link Al,
some excellent info there

Thanks Al this is an area that I have often steered away from as I had thought it too difficult. The article is really good and will enable me to have a little more confidence in having a try.

Hi Robert,

Yes, that skintone looks about right.... as for the rest of the hairstyle & outfit... I think his enemies would only die from laughter... :-) Seriously, this "traditional garb" is very untraditional

Great link, Al. Thanks. I'd seen it before but forgot to bookmark it at the time...

I feel I should just add that the African skin tone featured here is a generalization... North African and Cenral folks are darker than Southern Africans... Southern Africans have sort of yellowish-gold undertone to their skin... I'm not sure if that makes sense... It's probably closer to the Carribean/African-American look...

Rudi

Many thanks for that article Al. Even though I don't use Vallejo its still an excellent reference.

Just sent the link to a friend of mine who had stumbled in trying to get the skin tone. Great site. Thanks for watching out.

Thanks Al - I bookmarked that page!

I came across this really good website dealing with a variety of Ethnic Skintones over at Planet Figure and thought it would be helpful here as well.
