So I've been working on shading the She Warrior. I still have a LOT of work to do, but figured I'd let you guys see how she's looking. Having a lot of fun with her.

Apologies again for the image quality - they're just quick cellphone snaps at my work table.
Let me know what you think. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

No need to apologize for cell snaps - not many people want to break out the photo tent for WIPs!

I'm aiming for a tanned (but not orange!) Caucasian skin tone with a slight yellow undertone.

Nice, look forward to seeing it progress. what colours are you using to achieve this ?

I use GW paints. The colours have been:
1) Ratskin Flesh (basecoat)
2) Ratskin Flesh + Doombull Brown 1:1 (darkest shade)
3) Ratskin Flesh + Doombull Brown + Cadian Fleshtone 2:1:1 (slightly lighter)
4) Ratskin Flesh + Cadian Fleshtone 3:2 (darkest midtone)
5) Ratskin Flesh + Cadian Fleshtone 1:1 (slightly lighter)
That's as far as I've got so far.

Recent Completion
I wanted to share my most recently completed mini - a Skorne Titan Cannoneer (Hordes). He was a lot of fun to work on. I still need to do quite a lot of work on my highlighting and shading, but I'm getting there. He's my sixth mini that I've completed.
Photos were taken before he was varnished.

I liked the box art colour scheme so stuck with it for most of the mini.

Aargh! I'm getting quite frustrated with myself. The colours for the She Warrior skin are just not working out as I'd like them to. It's taking forever to build up the mid-tones and I'm not sure if it's because 1) my colour steps are too close to each other, or 2) my paints are too thinned (about 1:10 with water with a drop of flow improver). I'm getting the paint on and using a second brush to move and blend it.
I also want to give her auburn hair so I'm worried that I've made the wrong choice going with a yellow toned skin colour. Maybe I should have gone with a bluer undertone.
Any advice would be very appreciated. Re-basecoating her and starting from scratch should happen now rather than later while she still has relatively little paint on her.
Please help!ray:
