How do I paint hair? I dont know hoe to paint hair. blonde, red. dont know how to paint it

Depends what type of hair it is you're painting at the end of the day - if you have thick hair where the individual locks are easily identifiable you can paint them like you would cloth, however if it is a lot less dreadlock like you're going to be stuck with drybrushing.

Other than that I really can't help - you aren't letting on much.

the best way i find is to for blonde is to undercoat the hair snake bite leather then dry brush very lightly with golden yellow, most other colours i tend to undercoat the main colour i want the lightly dry brush either skull white or bleach bone over the top but just enought to bring out any detail in the hair then just very carefully highlight with a lighter vertion of your base coat, always works well for me.


hope that helped.

yes, blonde hair ive recently had a go at and ive found that snakebite leather is a brilliant basecoat, i highlighted that with bubonic brown and then a mix of bubonic and bleached bone as a highlight, then depending on how blonde you want the hair to be just keep highlighting with progressively lighter mixes of bubonic and bleached bone.

to carry on this topic, what about red hair, like on the tau?

hmmm, for the red gingery hair i'd probably use the mechrite red foundation as a base then highlight up with oranges until i had a really bright orange then give it a wash with some chestnut ink or one of the newer washes (haven't used them so i couldnt comment on which one) ive still got all opf the old inks that dont dry shiny so i use watered down ones of them for washs atm.

i could do a couple of trial minis if you want and then post pics?
