Thanks man! I use 00 and 000 for the 1/72 faces. Winsor and Newton, series 7. /Erik

@@DIOWORKbyErikWestberg Thanks for the quick reply Erik. That's good news as I recently bought a half dozen Windsor and Newton series 7 including those sizes. I also use Raphael 8404 series and Rosemary & Co series 33 Kolinsky sable brushes for my miniature figure painting. BTW, I subscribed to your channel after the YT algorithm send this video over my way. I'm looking forward to checking out more of your work. Cheers.

@@DIOWORKbyErikWestberg təkyu

Thanks! The base coat is a layer of Citadel Chaos Black.

@@DIOWORKbyErikWestberg thank you il try it out

Hi, I have a lot of different colors of course. I have no specific colors I use, I look at many colors pictures and pictures of uniforms and just try to imitate what I see. The German uniforms had a lot of different green and grey shades. If I paint 3 figures, I always try to get 3 different shades of their uniforms, not a big difference just a little. Practice, practice and practice, that’s the only way. I hope you understand. I wish you luck with the painting. /Erik

Thanks Hakim! I use size 000 and 00 for the face. Mostly 000. /Erik

@@DIOWORKbyErikWestberg thanks a lot !!! Is it possible for you to paint samurai from Zvezda ???😍😍

Hi, I normally I always use Citadel Black chaos as primer, lately I have tried Citadel Corax white as primer and that works fine as well. Especially if you should paint the figure in brighter colors. /Erik

Hi, it’s some years since I made that video. Today I would say the step for a 1/72 face is something like this: Base color Highlights Shadow/shading Then on the most exposed part once again: Highlights Last, extreme highlights on classic parts like nose and chin etc.

Thanks for the info, it really helped me out!

Hi, next video will be slower, thanks for advice. /Erik
