teaches his painting techniques as he painted Tom Meier's mummy diorama.
Job #2 is to tackle the horns. The model has no less than ten substantial horns. Naturally, I didn't try to paint all of them at once.
I started by painting all the horns Scorched Brown.
Then I went over them again in Bestial Brown. Very important to have the color watered down sufficiently at this point - with this many coats of paint, using thick color will look dreadful.
Throughout painting the horns, with each lighter color I left more dark color at the roots. Also, rather than block in the paint, I painted it in lines toward the root, largely following the contours sculpted onto the figure. I probably used roughly ten shades of color for the horns. Going from Bestial Brown, through Bleached Bone to nearly Skull White.
