Dipping ink 60 ml - GOTH SKIN DIP

Dipping ink 60 ml - Goth Skin Dip (Green Stuff World)

An acrylic ink from Green Stuff World from the Dipping Ink line, in a 60 ml package. The name Goth Skin suggests that this is a variant intended for flesh - for the faces, hands and bare areas of figures. That is an important distinction with inks: a shadow on flesh is made in a different tone from a shadow on equipment or on metal, because otherwise a face goes gray.

What it is and what it is not

It is a toning ink, not an opaque paint for flesh. What belongs under it is a dry base flesh shade which the ink only shades through. On its own it will not paint flesh.

Use

• Always stir the bottle thoroughly, because the pigment settles at the bottom.
• With faces, dose carefully - here selective application with a brush into the eye sockets, under the nose and under the lip pays off more than dipping a whole head.
• On larger figures and on bodies, classic dipping with the surplus dripped off can be used.
• Once it has dried, highlight the forehead, the nose, the cheekbones and the chin; the contrast is what makes a face legible.
• Finally fix it with varnish according to the sheen you want - flesh is usually kept rather matte.

Who it is for

For figure painters, players of tabletop games and everyone who paints faces in larger numbers and wants a separate shading ink for flesh instead of a universal brown wash.

Keep out of the reach of children, close the container well after the work and wash brushes immediately.
