Black skin step-by-step
Paints:
Vallejo - black primer
Vallejo - pnazer series - German cam black brown
Vallejo - MC - Flat brown
Vallejo - MC - Mahogany brown
Vallejo - GC - Cadmiun skin

Step 0 - adjust black primer
Step 1 - paint all in german cam black brown
Step 2 - paint bulgling areas with the mixture of german brown and flat brown 50:50
Step 3 - put the layer of flat brown, only to most bulgling areas
Step 4 - mix flat brown with mahogany brown 50:50 and put smaller layer starting final highlites
Step 5 - Add mahagany brown to areas where skin is normally brighter (elbow, knuclkes)
Step 6- pu th elast highlites made from cadmiun skin and mahogany brown 30:70, but it only on the tops of step 5.
TIP: normally I try to use wet blending as the paint needs to disperse smoothly on the mini.
