What brand/kind of paint did you use and what colors? I would love a quick tutorial if you could post one. Your repaint is fantastic!
Sure...I used Delta Ceramcoat paints. Just a simple mix of black and brown painted over the irises, then a topcoat of gloss with a tiny drop of tompte red added. Finished off with a white dot on each iris for a catchlight. Under the eyes, the same black brown was added along the lash line, and in the top fold of his (eyebags?)
Lastly, above his eyes, in the corner by his nose, and under his cheekbones, some ground up charcoal pencil applied with a dry brush. Pick up the powder with the brush, then wipe most of it off on a paper towel, then gently work it into the area until you get the desired shade.
Are they going to work on repainting these figures to have a stronger look? Not sure if this has been addressed. The costumes on these Dark Shadows are incredibly detailed...it is a shame to have the faces looking so strange!
