Thanks for the video. Even though I've been doing this for a long time, the more you learn the more you realize how much you don't know and I'm always interested in other people's approaches and find something I can use(when the information is useful and well put together from someone talented). Anyway thanks again. Subscribed.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for this vid! Ive been looking for tutorials everywhere!
Thanks for the video/ had never considered dry brushing skin tone, but it seems really effective.
Where's your work?
Thank you for this video! I'm repainting a neca twilight Edward to use as John Constantine and I could use all the help I can get.
I guess it's pretty randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to stream newly released series online?
@Diego Idris I would suggest Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
Bro dont even worry about the filming, painting was excellent.
I actually think you're a very good teacher. Really nice to hear a British person, as when you watch American videos they mention products that aren't available in the uk. Quick question, when painting over darker areas (ie - red lips to skin colour) would you recommend just painting over the top or removing the factory paint with nail polish remover, then painting? I'd really appreciate your advice. I don't want to cake layers of paint on it. Thank you.
VADtoys thank you for replying. I'm repainting my izombie season 2 figure. She has red lips which irritates me because i'm a stickler for accuracy and she's freaking dead! (Basing her look of the promotional art of the figure which of course looks nothing like how my figure looks)
I want her to look paler and i'm thinking of using pastels (do you think that would work?) or dry brush areas with pink to give a sunken undead look.
I've used nail polish remover before but on dolls as i've also dabbled in doll customisation. (Working on a joker doll right now as well) i'm used to working with them as they're heads are vinyl so you need to remove the factory paint as sanding would scratch the vinyl. I just use cotton buds and rinse thoroughly once i'm done so it doesnt seep into the vinyl as this has happened and caused discolouration and "nicks" where it's eaten away.
Thank you, i'll take your advice and pop down to games workshop and pick up some flesh coloured paint. Do you know if they sell brushes? Or would you recommend ones from elsewhere? Action figure faces are even smaller than doll faces so i need the tiniest brushes i can find. Thanks again 👍🏻
I know that you had a hard time filming this video, but would you consider doing another one with a Black Series figure?? To learn how to make them look more alive
do you do it so easily could you make a face for me? I want to buy it, I would send you the size of the body and need please.
@@VADtoys can u do that with the val kilmer Batman figure please
They just asked for a video, why are you guys asking for them to make you a figure?
great video!
Thanks this was very helpful
A lot of people who do the 12" and smaller dolls do the upside down thing, I think you can see it more clearly , I always want to do this too!
dud you posted thos video at the perfect time. I've just gotten a fake of that figure and the face paint is bloody awful. I'll be using this as a guide, many thanks you have done an amazing job. he also looks like Chris pratt now.
Thanks 👍
I would recommend the Yi Lite camera it is cheap and easy to use
A figure of mine's head was tilted on its black leather coat. It's been a while since I moved it and there's black paint spots on the head's chin now. How can I cover it ? Which paint and brush?
Hello, great video. Do you do comissions?
Awesome
Perfect video , i saved it for later
By the way, did you finish with any kind of varnish to protect the paint job?
Yay! I think this is the video I need... I want to attempt to make a Phicen head which kinda looks like my sister, really look like my sister so I can replace a doll I bought her years ago and which her dog mauled last year. I want to get the doll as close as possible to how my sister looks so I would need to repaint the makeup.
So if I reapply the makeup and then seal with MSC will this work?
Btw do his ears... I am forever telling girls that your ears and neck also show...no tidemarks!
What do you feel is the best way to do eyeliner? I can't seem to get the paint load right. Either it runs and leaves a big glob on the figure, or is isn't enough and I have to do multiple strokes, leaving the line jagged and messy.
Right on. I'll give that a go.
hey VAD! I was wondering what brand, and size the brush you used for the iris of the eye was? Thanks. I cant seem to find one small enough in all mine.
@@VADtoys Ok great. Thanka!
You need a wet palate so your paints won't dry out so fast. Just a thought. :-)
I would do brown dot first then add a pupil dot on top for the eyes
To be honest, the head that you repaint is the younger version of chris redfield. Good job.
Nicely done. Flesh tones are a real bitch. I just mix up in a small jar until I get what I like and just use that. Painting mostly metal gaming figures but will be trying 1/72 plastic figures, uhh once I get a pair of magnifying glasses to wear!!!
I find that chalk pastels, after adding some tooth with MrSuperClear or whatever matte sealant you prefer, and adding texture and colour, spraying and fixing as each thin coat becomes saturated, So you can build gradual layers of colour and texture gives a better result than jumping into acrylics. I also find watercolour pencils both wet and dry and gouache are much more buildable and forgiving than acrylic (which I only use sometimes on the sclera and eyeshine if needed and occasionally for red or other lip colour if I'm painting a female with makeup, in all cases it's usually sealed and gloss applied as it's far too opaque and just difficult on such a small scale when there's so many great alternatives which give stunning results). Obviously you are used to your own method and do it really beautifully but I am not so brave!
How many comments do you have to leave on one video. Annoying asf. You bored or something?
If i wanted to paint hair blonde , what paint would you suggest ?
What was the tool you were using to paint the eyes
How and what do you use to seal the paint?
What are the best size or brands of brushes for this?
How'd you do the beard highlights. The 5 o'clock shadow as it were
He said it was a drybrush so the same technique as he did earlier in the video just using a slightly darker color and more precise with the angle of the brush.
I've got a 1/6 scale Penguin head that needs the skin tone, toning down! It needs to be pale, white almost to be correct! Could I just give it a dry brush with white!? Obviously adding some black as well to highlight the cheek bones!?
Drybrushing with straight up white is most likely not going to look good, you want to gradually go down in pigment, especially as it is a bigger head type.
I may be slightly out of my depth with this one 😂! Thanks for the advice!
How do you tidy up the bleeding black paint on the eye? Please share tips.. thanks! 👍
You just use the same color you used for the skin afterwards. Slow and steady wins the race.
Amazing work of art, I love it ! Thanks for sharing.
Suggesting that better to use the dark surface to film, so the light doesn't reflect back to camera lenses.

I don't get it. You make the paint a bit lighter layer after layer, but you just go and paint the whole face with it. Shoudn't we be more selective on where to paint the highlights and shadows?
I have a question ok so when I paint eyes, I make sure to put the dot in the middle, but for some reason it's like they looking down instead of like straight ahead and I don't know why. Even though I put the pupil right in the center of the eye ball.
I men you could try to just paint the dot higher up to counteract it
@@VADtoys But then it just makes it look like she's looking up😆 It's almost like the way the head is sculpted has a very like casual expression and maybe that's resulting in the eyes looking the way they do
how to scoulpt heads for 1/6 scale figures
Nicely done, dude! Painting at a small scale is a bitch in itself, but when you need to take the curves of the object into consideration (shading and such), it soon gets alot harder! Getting into every single little corner can be quite a challenge LOL! I only work in 1/6th scale, and Im doing a Mortal Kombat 2 (MKX alternate costume) custom the moment, and painting the eyes was a pain in my BLIPING butt! I found it alot easier to do small details in black with a proper thin, fine tipped ink pen, as the paintbrushes always want to follow the shape you brush it against. I've also been cutting/customizing a few brushes, just to get better control on them so they don't fan out so much. I also tend to swap out the brush for a tooth pick, just to get a very sharp tool to apply the very fine details. Alot of times I get asked what tools I use for certain tasks, and where they can buy them. And the answer I always tend to give them, is that the tools can't be bought as is, as they are often custom made tools spesificly made for one job and that one job only. These are "tools" that isn't used by everyone, and for the most part, each and every artist have their own techniques for certain tasks. But the most important tool to have when making custom figures is patience! That is something I don't have, and thats why each project takes so long for me to complete LOL!

Yeah, needles are great too! The weirdest thing I've ever painted with, was the fluffy end of a string of yarn attached to a bendy steel wire :P But thats what happens when you assemble stuff without checking that everything is properly painted LOL!
eSeReS did you just reply to yourself?
@@Idk-dc7hv Nope. Its just the channel owner deleting his own comments I guess.
eSeReS that makes sense. But why is the reply like this, @******?
I liked it better before you applied the lighter ceramite, we could even see the oily skin and sweat (at least on screen)
how to restore painting of the figure that is coming out
I have an old figure, it looks perfect, but the top of the hair has faded a little. It was black and a little bluish. original figure how to restore faded hair? please
Sounds to me like the factory paint has rubbed off. You're gonna have to repaint it yourself I think.
What is citadel paint type?
when i try this. i accidentally paint over the eyes and hair.
Is that Vince's head from shamwow?
Chris Redfield
just a thought, i feel like just a little bit of gloss on the lips at that size goes a long way; it just makes them look wet where they're pursed.
I meant in lieu of changing the color at all, or maybe eeeever so slightly darker. But I don't know, you're the video guy
Is this paint or real make up ?
Would you consider doing commissions?
do you have facebook?
I cant use the youtube PM system since my laptop is broken, so is there any other website we could discuss it over?
what's the type of paint did you use?
How did you pop the head off
Heat it up with a hairdryer and then pull
Can u fix Amy jo johnson from the pink ranger figure?
