Thanks for the compliment!Keska said:I can't be terribly specific on color names, since I'm at work, but I tend to do hair in mid-to light colors, ink wash, then highlight. So for blond I'd paint it all a golden tan, wash with a brown ink, and then highlight with at least two lighter colors. Since blonde tends to be slightly transparent/metallic, I wouldn't go all the way to white unless it is a *very* pale blonde.
Unlike most people, I prefer to basecoat humaniod models in white, unless the figure is going to have uniformly dark features.
However, Pogre is an amazing master painter, so maybe you should take his advice instead!
If you just want them to get to the pretty good/good enough for gaming level (as a wargamer, I know that desire!), go with a mid-brown base coat and then drybrush it with some yellow that maybe has a teeny spot o'brown in it to take the edge off the yellow and bring it a little closer to the base color. You can leave it at that point, or do a final light drybrush of a lighter yellow. It's not gonna win any painting awards, but it's fast, and good enough that people know it's a blonde character.Flexor the Mighty! said:
