Wolfman color?

Jeffrey Mahon

Hi all!

Just wondering what color paints you experts would use to paint Rick Baker's Wolfman?

I was thinking Raw Umber?

I would build up color with many layers of different brown shades, some warmer, some cooler, and incorporate thin washes to build up depth.  You can also use the "speckling" technique, where you flick paint onto the surface with a stiff brush to create a nice breakup pattern.  You can also vary the warmer/cooler tones based on location, using the warmer tones where there would be more blood flow or softer tissue.
