Steps

  1. 1 Fill in the eyes with Yellow Ochre, then base coat the skin and hands with Offwhite.
  2. 2 Base coat almost the entire outfit with Mechanicus Standard Grey, leaving the shoes and frilly collar for later.
  3. 3 Outline the yellow eyes with a thin line of black for a sunken look.
  4. 4 Base coat the shoes with Black Grey, and paint the wooden boat prop with Iraqi Sand.
  5. 5 Give the hair a dark undercoat with Tindalos Red.
  6. 6 Clean up the eye outlining and hairline with Offwhite.
  7. 7 Mix Brown Rose and Sky Grey for the frilly collar, applying it to the collar and the inner wrist frills.
  8. 8 Paint the ankle wraps, belt ropes, and wrist wraps with Screamer Pink.
  9. 9 Dry-brush Longbeard Grey over the dark grey costume areas for texture, touch up any spots it missed with a lighter grey mix, then wash the wooden boat with Seraphim Sepia to bring out its detail.
  10. 10 Highlight the shoes with a light grey mix of Ulthuan Grey and Mechanicus Standard Grey.
  11. 11 Highlight the collar's raised areas and edges with a mix of Ulthuan Grey, Sky Grey, and Brown Rose, then boost with pure Ulthuan Grey.
  12. 12 Paint the pom-poms with Mayhem Red, then paint the clown face makeup - eye lines, nose, cheek curves, and lips - with Mayhem Red mixed with flow aid.
  13. 13 Highlight the hair's raised areas with Skrag Brown, then build up brightness through Troll Slayer Orange to a bright final highlight, leaving red in the recesses; highlight the pom-poms with a Troll Slayer Orange and Mayhem Red mix.
  14. 14 Use Apothecary White as a subtle wash on the hands and around the face's edges, hairline, nose, and eyes, then clean up with Offwhite and highlight the fingers.
  15. 15 Base coat the display base with Jokaero Orange to match Pennywise's monster card, then paint the teeth Offwhite and wash with Seraphim Sepia to yellow them.
