Black primer, then white ink for what I believe can be called a 'value sketch' - a zenithal prime with a rough render of the main tonal values. I think.

@adt70hk I used the Mac valve doing this - helpful, helpful. I'm now tempted to block in some of the main colours by airbrush, again using that valve.
I must admit I have a plastic pot I practice on and it's perfect but even then something sometimes goes wrong on the model.Hmm, just got major splatter from turning the Mac valve down - best use might be for weathering? The jury is out on this...

Thanks Tim.... Duly noted for my first test run with it!Good sculpt. He reminds me of someone, but I can’t place who……
Coming along nicely isn’t he…..
The MAC valve issue is too little air to atomise the paint…..basically you turned it down too far and choked the brush……
Coming very nicely!
I think that may just be the photograph having a colour cast John.Paul
Very nice start. I was just wondering what colours you use for your flesh tones? It may be the camera but the tone looks a little jaundiced to me. I thought the same about your previous pirates too. My go to recipe is yellow ochre, burnt sienna, and white with the tiniest bit of ultramarine blue added. I then use cadmium scarlet, alizarin crimson and van Dyke brown to add tiny details.
