If it were a person or armor, <strong>we would apply this darker orange color in all the lower areas of the miniature, or areas where light would not reflect directly.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p>Here we

tutorial with more examples in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n<p>Finally, I have to mention that the reason why <strong>we will apply this color after the Orange Fire (and not before)<\/strong>, it is because if we would have started with this Hot Orange from the beginning, we would have a hard time generating contrast, because being a dark and intense color, applying lighter colors over it using airbrush would cost more work. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moon Yellow<\/h2>\n\n<p>To finish with the airbrush, we will give the final touch using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frikland.com\/tienda\/index.php?id_product=3040316697&amp;controller=product\">Moon Yellow Game Air.<\/a> This color will be applied in a very controlled way, in all<strong> edges, ledges or upper areas where the light would be more intensely affected.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>If we want a higher contrast and a more intense yellow, we can perform an extra step, first applying <strong>a very diluted white<\/strong>, <strong>and then applying the Moon Yellow<\/strong> over this white color.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
