RED MARBLE
Start with an even black undercoat, again, spray is recommended if possible.
I’m gonna outline a technique called stippling before I launch into the pics. When stippling you use the point of the brush like you’re stabbing the area you want the paint to go. As you can imagine, this is a perfect way to ruin a good brush, which is why we don’t use the good brushes. I use a cut down brush, basically an old brush that has been worn out and I cut about 70% of the bristles off. Looks like this,
Right, once the undercoat is dry dab on some crimson gore in a couple of thick lines, preferably at a diagonal.
Use the same technique to highlight with blood red followed by blazing orange.
Next up, take some thinned skull white and paint on the veins. Follow the same angles as the red areas but branch off a bit in a few places to keep it interesting
Now lightly dry brush around these lines to create a mist like effect
Lastly, with thinned skull white, add some very thin “hairline fractures” (only way I can think to describe them) coming off from the main white veins
There you go, hope y’all found this helpful. That’s not all I have though, watch this space for future marble tutorials!
