Hi everyone!
This week I present to you how I painted the face for this bust. The Bust is called “Surrounded” by Life Miniatures. As I write in the article, the sculptor and painter of this brand, Sang-Eon Lee is an amazing painter and worth checking out. Links below.

I am excited to share with you more tutorials using models not from Games Workshop. I hope you can see these lessons can be used for all miniature painting, even if you just find a nice new colour recipe. I would love your feedback on this style of article, and I hope you enjoy the variety we are trying to bring to you at Cult of Paint.
Furthermore, I encourage you above all else to look at many many references before painting faces of any scale. I could not induce the photos in the article, but links below show some of my favourites. It is fundamental to your understanding where highlights must be places on faces. This should be learn from observation of photographs, not miniatures. Google Portraits and start to study the face. This is how I make judgements on where to place highlights.
