Here’s my guide to painting Orc skin.

I start by base coating the whole model with Charred Brown. This has no benefit for the green skin but it does make painting the Orc’s cloths/weapons easier.

I then base coat the Orc’s skin in Snot Green. Usually 2-3 watered down coats is perfect.

I then highlight the tops of the muscles with Goblin Green, making sure I leave plenty of snot green showing through.

To add depth to the model, I paint a watered down mix of Dark Green and Black into the all the recesses. Whilst the consistency of this mix is akin to a wash, don’t use it as an all over wash, instead use control to target the specific areas that need shading.

Final highlight is a mix of Dead White and Goblin green. As you can see in a few easy steps you have a nice bright orc skin with plenty of definition.
