Painting a plastic skull to look like real aged bone

edited January 2019 in Painting
A few times a year I build prop skulls, and I wanted to share one of my recent builds.  I took a cheap white plastic skull, replaced its teeth with acrylic denture teeth, patched up all the seams, and gave it a nice aged bone paint job.

Before:

After:

The effect was created by layering various colors of acrylic paints using sponges, and finishing it off with acrylic washes.

At some point in the future I will likely be adding mummified flesh to it and a LED candle with dripping wax on the top to create a display piece.

This was all built and painted live on my twitch channel, https://twitch.tv/vexfx
