Skin

When it came to the shaved portion in the centre of his head, I highlighted as normal, then mixed a little Dawnstone into the initial highlight colour. With this mix, glaze the section then highlight if needed. This should add a subtle grey.

4. Apply chunky highlights of Fire Dragon Bright to the cloth. With the crispness of the details on this sculpt, I first applied a standard edge highlight, before thickening the highlights with a series of downward facing lines.

6. Mix a little White into the above colour and more selectively highlight edges, focussing on upward facing curves.
