"Do you paint lips?" Topic

OK, once or twice a year somebody asks if we paint eyes, and why are we so misguided as to paint/not paint them. Just to be different, I thought I'd ask about lips, perhaps postponing the next eye question until 2016.

For me, if somebody has his mouth open, I'll pant the inside and maybe the lips. I tend to do lips on female figures, using a pink Micron 005 pen.

What about the rest of you?

Who may be on a roll: the bug not only posted my last topic, but let me crosspost it as well!

Of course!

I have before. Normally a Rose Brown on the upper lip only.

If they show up while drybrushing the face, then yes.
If not , no.

No.

For 28mm, yes.

Depends on the figure. Mostly no but I have on my 40mm figures.

only my own by accident

On female figure always. On others only if I want an old school look to them.

I'll try facial features on 28mm (emphasis on try), but I cannot paint such fine details on anything smaller.

No.

Bright red, so it doesn't clash with their nails.

LOL…no.

only on 6mm figs.

ALL of my 3mm infantry have had their lips painted. So there.

Only on 2mm figures

I used to, but now they just get the same highlight as the rest of the face – unless I'm doing a figure for display.

I usually don't paint eyes either.

When I did large scale model figures, yes. Wargames pieces? No.

Not mine.

Sometimes on 28mm

Now and again.

I paint 28mm, so yes is the answer to both lips and eyes.

Nope

In 28mm I paint both eyes and the lower lip. Sometimes the upper lip as well if the figure seems to need such. I don't bother with such detail in 15mm.

Only twice, both were female figures.

Yep, bottom lip only! thin line of bugmans glow. 28mm/25mm mind,I've not done that many figures smaller

only mustaches on my 15mm.

Always on 20mm+ females. Red or pink lens, white line for teeth once dry. Otherwise, never.

As part of the face to delineate it, yes.
