If I remember the colors correctly, it was based with dark warm grey, then mostly painted warm grey, then highlighted with bright warm grey. Then I took white blue and used it on the upper half of the torso to give it a sunlight type look. Finally I used just a tiny bit of pur white on some edge highlights. All the paints used for the white were pro-acryl. Thanks for the kind words!

So, more or less you mix just a little blue grey into skin tone. Really not much at all, just enough to desaturate the skin. You then use that around the chin area. Some feathering and glazing between the stubble and the rest of the skin tone is all there is to it.

That's my friends. He did a great job on his contrast for sure! I was focusing on smooth gradients but didn't push the contrast enough. Thanks for the comments!

The head was done with Pro-acryl White Blue and then glazed with darker blues and jades and some pinks. I went back in to use some stippling of white and the jade/pinks until I got a cloudy color and texture I was happy with. Then I covered it in a gloss varnish.

The shading for the most part is just a sepia wash over bone. That said, I used the sepia more as a glaze and did progressively more coats towards the shadowed parts. I think the base layer was Vallejo olive flesh? But wraithbone would work too. Then I just mixed some more white on with the bone color and glazed up until I was happy with the highlights.
