Does anyone know of a good tutorial to face oriental face. The colors I have make them look like they have yellow fever.
Thanks

Sgt,

This is a very useful article:

Japanese are about half-way down but the other info should be checked out too.

I got the link from this TMP post:

I highly suggest going out shopping and checking the faces of the various people of asian descent you might observe. Then, paint what you see. If there is not an abundance of people to observe, just try some japanese porn. Fun and educational at the same time!

Reaper makes an Asian fleshtone triad that works pretty well.

Yeah, I use the Reaper "Golden Skin" triad for my troopers of Asian descent.

Don't forget Oriental and African skin darkens in the sun in the same way that indo-caucasians tan. Modern people tend to avoid the outdoor activities of our historical ancestors, and tend to be paler accordingly. There are natural variations in skin tone anyway, even in different parts of Japan!
