This is something from last year that was originally for Patrons only – a complete painting guide for Fyanna, Torment of Everblight.
I have already covered Legion skin, and carapace in quick tips. But, I re-iterate that information and methods here for convenience. One step changes in the skin for a female – I don’t go as dark with the shading.
Using these colours will get you a result that is very close to the PP studio scheme.
All colours used in this video are Formula P3 by Privateer Press unless stated otherwise. When a shade or highlight appears with a bracket (X) following it that contains a number, that is the number of shade/highlights to apply. Each shade/highlight layer will contain more of the listed colour mixed with the base colour.
