Painting miniatures, though a relatively small sector, is one of the most widespread hobbies throughout the world. The modellers and painters prefer mainly military figures and model vehicles, closely followed by fantasy figures. However, painting female figures presents an alternative to these, taking second place among the preferences of many painters, perhaps due to a lack of knowledge or the difficulty it presents. From now on and thanks to this publication, all this is history. When painting a female figure, one should simply be familiar with the appropriate techniques in order to obtain the picturesque effects that portray finesse, avoiding sharp lights and shadows used on military figures. Airbrush techniques, almost always feared by the majority of painters, provide really surprising finishes that can later be applied to other types of tasks. The sensuality, glamour and eroticism that occasionally accompany female figures cannot be forgotten, making this publication an essential guide for overcoming the fear of this type of figure painting that can provide great satisfaction once the pieces are finished. This is undoubtedly a new style that breaks away from traditional techniques that are repeated in conventional figure painting. The publication is designed in a very visual way, accompanying the reader with brief and concise explanations on the use of different techniques, illustrative step-by-step processes. The examples described include how to paint figures ranging from 30mm fantasy miniatures to large scale figures, as well as specific techniques for simulating skin, hair, lips and everything that comprises the female figure as a whole, in which sensuality is a key factor.
