Mix a tiny bit of white with your flesh color and hit the tip of the nose, tip of the chin, top of the cheekbones, and maybe a few of the pronounced lines around the mouth and the faces will really pop. The small numbers you need make these great models to push your technique.Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02145798538758316372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-2624483401914723522015-03-15T11:05:21.727+00:002015-03-15T11:05:21.727+00:00Lookin' good to me.
