FRODO BAGGINS

The trousers were painted with a basecoat mix of Scorched Brown and a small amount of Chaos Black, adding small amounts of Bleached Bone for each successive highlight.

An equal mix of Bestial Brown and Chaos Black was used to paint the basecoat for the inner vest. This was first highlighted with Bestial Brown followed by a final highlight of Snakebite Leather.

A basecoat of Dark Flesh, to which a small amount of Chaos Black had been added, was used to paint Frodo's jacket. An equal quantity of Vomit Brown was added for the highlights, mixing in a small amount of Bleached Bone for the final stage.

The cloak was given a basecoat mix of Dark Angels Green, darkened slightly with a touch of Chaos Black. An equal quantity of Goblin Green was added to this mix for the first highlight, finishing off by adding a small amount of Bleached Bone.

Frodo's hair was left with the Chaos Black undercoat as a basecoat, then, using a small drybrush highlighted with Codex Grey. The paint on the brush was left a little wetter than normal to avoid the grainy effect that drybrushing can often leave. The hair on his feet was then painted using the same method.
