Bone color?

[HOKking]

What are some good colors to mix for a bone color?

hey, i'v been told that 20 drop's of white and one drop black will do the trick..my want to play with that a little, i'v not done it yet, but the guy who told me this IS KILLER WITH A BONE LOOK,..shake well =p

lots of variables here like do want a bleached bone reflection of light but overall bones have a creamy tint to them. There was just a post on here about mixing colors with a video and I posted a color chart and color wheel.

that would be cool i need to look for that!!

it also depends if you are talking about realistic bones. Than that would depend on how old and decayed the bones were best thing to do is get a picture of actual bones from dig sites to displayed and use those to mix your colors.

I use purple, green, blue, and grey for dynamic colors. If its a smoking skull(cigarette, cigar, etc.) there may be orange, yellow and red.
For realistic, I like the recipe above but also think you could substitute yellow for the black and get a good look too.

i feel better now, i dubble guess my self a lot, and i don't have a ton of experience with skulls, i'v done one, and it all sounded so different from what i had to say...thank's all

I think buff titanium would be good starting point. It looks like a mixture of white with a touch of yellow and red. Maybe white with touch of raw sienna.

i could be very off but maybe a creamish and for shading a cream orangeish like i said i could be off but it also depends on the mood of the work. :star:
