Each model is split up into 4 stages, each with a list of colours and the corresponding paint that was used for it. Each stage uses a different technique to achieve a similar effect on each element but with different colours.
Stage 1 is basecoating. Base colours are applied using flat, solid colours covering an area completely. Sometimes this can take 2-3 coats to achieve that flat, solid colour. Make sure to apply several thin coats, rather than one thick coat.
Stage 2 is layering. This stage involves applying a layer of a lighter colour, leaving the recesses, such as the folds in cloth, the darker basecoat colour. Sometimes we will apply a thinned layer. This involves adding a thinner, most commonly water or Lahmian Medium, to the paint. This is then applied over several coats, gradually building a gradient between the basecoat and the layer.
Stage 3 is highlighting. We use several methods to highlight, including a layered highlight, line and edge. A layered highlight is very similar to the thinned layer, but is only applied to the raised areas and edges. A line highlight involves applying a thin line of paint to the raised areas and straight edges of the area. An edge highlight is very similar, except that it is only applied to the hard edges.
Stage 4 is for final details and highlights. This stage involves adding the finishing touches, sometimes just small details like the eyes, or adding small highlights to increase definition.
If you find yourself unsure of where to apply the highlights or spot highlights, look over the images alongside the guide and compare that stage to the last.
