Hair and skin paint

[mcs1056]

Trying to keep this apolitical, I have been asked to paint a "Trumpa Loompa" figure. The request comes from a centrist individual, and I'll not add my personal beliefs on this forum.

My ask is; What would folks recommend for facial and hair paints?

I don't want to make this an absurd caricature, but I think, too, that a little bit of exaggeration would be in order.

Vallejo paints is what I use and they are available at most Hobby Lobby's if you need them quick

They make a good a good Basic Skin Tone color.

Of course you'll have to mix in a bit of orange if you want to capture the cheap fake tan look

use the straight skin color around the eyes since they always look much lighter than the fake tan on the rest of his face

for the hair, I would probably use something like Vallejo Buff as a base, and then highlight with some white mixed in

After thewife pointed out how ridiculous is my thinking I could not make an Oompa Loompa of a President "an absurd caricature," I've decided to press on with a bit more silliness than originally planned.

All you need is three colors. Red. White. And blue. Make sure you make it patriotic, buddy. We would be **** without him

If you are using acrylics, someone else can advise, but as an oiler, Burnt Sienna, Raw Umber, Titanium White, those are the basics. No politics taken, it's a resin figure, right?
