of our skin out of the way, let's move into

some fine detail work and some little things

that are gonna help bring the character to life.

I do wanna get into some of the wrinkles on the face

and maybe some extra little tight vein work

just to sort of bring some things out.

I definitely want to get some vein work

around these ear holes, or these canals, whatever those are.

Some in the lips a little bit, like to get some detail.

So let's mix up a color for that.

And I wanna kinda do a purple washed out

or toned-down color, so I'll mix this magenta here.

And then we'll add, maybe tone it down with some black

and (rustling)

deepen that a bit.

And maybe add a touch of some

indigo blue to that will help us.

Get a nice cool-looking color

that we can define some features with.

I think this we'll do a little bit a airbrushing.

Maybe a little bit a work with a brush, too, we'll see.

Sometimes these tight little details

that are sculpted in, they're tough

to get with an airbrush, so we'll see

if we can get that to happen.

Again, same steps as before, just sorta thin out

your paint, take a look at what you got.

I do want to tone this a bit more.

It's a bit too purple.

I wanna get some black in there,

and maybe a bit of red. (clicking)

There we go.

A little bit a alcohol here.

Let's take a look.

And let's try this out.

Let's see (hissing)

what we've got here, just spray it on your paper towel.

Now we'll go close into the face here.

Now, you gotta be real careful,

'cause we're gonna spray (rattling)

right into the crevices of the wrinkles

just to give some color in there.

We will go (hissing)

around the face and sort of work all these wrinkles out.

Now, if this is tough for you (motor whirring)

to do, you can do this with a very fine brush

and the paint, and go into the wrinkles,

whatever is easiest to achieve that effect.

Early on we could've done, at the very beginning,

kind of a wash, but I didn't want to wash out

every little detail on this guy.

(motor whirring)

Sometimes that looks a little, like too much.

So I like to be real subtle with this stuff.

So I'm gonna also go deep inside

around the eyes.

And again, I'm not gonna worry about getting paint

on the eyes because like I said,

you can wash those off later with alcohol real carefully

and take any paint that gets on the eyes,

paint overspray, and get rid of it.

(motor whirring)

On a little guy like this, a little sculpture,

sometimes you need to accentuate some of these features

to get them to pop out and to get them to look right.

On a larger-scale sculpture, a life-sized,

you may not have to do that,

especially on something human,

(motor whirring) (hissing)

A very human may not have, you know, purple color

in the wrinkles or stuff like that,

so you may take a more subtle approach.

But on this little guy, being an alien,

and creature, and whatnot, we can kind of

get away with this fantasy element to the skin.

(motor whirring)

So I'm gonna go in (hissing)

and also kinda, just to give some more color to the lip.

And I'm not gonna try and hit

every little detailed crack in there,

but just to give more color

and a little bit of the lip line.

It's really gonna make that lip pop out.

Now, for the top lip, I'll just do a quick haze like that

and just get a little color in there.

(hissing)

I have a real thing where I like the lips

to be kind of blue-purpley toned on aliens and stuff.

I really like that a lot. (motor whirring)

And again, just go around and hit little details

that you think should come out a little more

and accentuate your character. (hissing)

(rattling)

You know, it helps bring the face

to life a little bit. (hissing)

(motor whirring)

You can go in to also, maybe,

some of these little weird holes

with this color. (hissing)

(hissing)

And let's also hit these wrinkles a little bit

on the side of the ear.

(rattling)

(hissing)

(motor whirring)

And maybe even throw in some really tight, fine veining...

Just comin' off this ear (motor whirring)

like it's somehow a sensitive kind of organ

or somethin' on this guy, some kinda really weird.

And you know, you might even carry it,

a little purple wrinkle like this,

up into the head off a that. (hissing)

You know, just somethin' (motor whirring)

that makes it look interesting and,

you know, gives another look (rattling)

of somethin' cool on the side of the head there.

(hissing)

'Cause we don't have any kind of really interesting ears

or anything goin' on, so we wanna

make those features, (hissing)

even though they're simple, look interesting somehow.

So again, (motor whirring)

I'm gonna be real random

and almost like broken blood vessel veins or somethin',

that kind of look. (hissing)

You know, like what's on your grandma's leg.

(hissing)

And then we'll move down (rattling)

maybe into the neck here. (hissing)

(hissing)

(motor whirring)

And just sorta bring out a few of these neckline wrinkles,

not too overdone. (rattling)

We don't wanna get carried away.

(hissing) (motor whirring)

I mean, you can always tone back or adjust something

if you don't like it, or if it gets too overdone.

But you know, (rattling)

I always try to avoid (hissing)

overdoing something if I can. (hissing)

Just pop some of these nasty little broken

guys in there, these little creepy,

creepy critter veins.

(motor whirring)

(rattling)

(hissing)

(rattling)

(hissing)

You know, the ones you see on grandpa's nose.

(rattling)

(hissing)

They're fun.

Or on my nose, ew.

(hissing)

Alright, so (motor whirring)

(rattling)

this gives us a nice. (hissing)

This one might feel a little overdone

so I might, you know, (hissing)

tone it back later.

I'll show you how to do that.

But we could bring it up a little higher, too,

which is interesting.

(hissing)

(motor whirring)

And maybe some of them kinda connect to one another.

(rattling) (hissing)

(rattling)

Kinda like broken cappilaries, I guess.

(hissing)

And let's pop (rattling)

just a little more color (hissing)

into this chin.

But not with veining, just little,

(motor whirring)

little bits here. (hissing)

Can even go into the

(rattling)

(hissing)

side of the jaw line a little.

(rattling)

Lookin' pretty good now. (hissing)

Alright, that's gonna probably do it

for that fine detail veining.

Oh, one more little thing here.

Let's get this. (hissing)

Alright, cool. (rattling)

Let's move on.
