I've been using a strange paint combo to create a base flesh color, Alizarin Crimson and Spring Green! ( I'm using Liquitex Alizarin Crimson Hue, and Jo Sonja's Tree Frog Green) You'd never think in a million years that these two colors would make such a wonderful skin color but I love it!
The ratio I use is about two-thirds green to one-third crimson. That mixture can be seen on the left of my palette. The batch on the right has additional green added. Below, each batch I've added white to show how lovely the final color looks.
He's just blocked in, but I'm using this basic flesh on the Poggle fantasy character I designed. Add Hunter's Green, or Dioxazine Purple to darken the base for shadows.
Give it a try! I think you'll like it!
