How to paint an animal skull?

In our catalog of resin bits, specially designed to make your miniatures, dioramas, scenes, or bases more detailed and realistic, we have a large number of skulls and bones (both human and animal bones) that are perfect for your projects.

How you use them depends on your needs, as they can form part of the base or accompany the miniature in the scenery of your gaming table. There are many scenarios in which they fit perfectly, such as in battlefield remains, in cemeteries, abbeys, churches, or simply as ornaments on the most extreme armor of your favorite army.

That's why we've decided to present this tutorial to teach you how to paint an animal skull. In this case, specifically, it's about how to paint cow skulls. Of course, it can be extrapolated to any other bone element. As you can see, the artist has chosen a range of paints from our range of Maxx Formula paints that are very specific for this type of finish, which he applies in layers over the entire skull.

But remember: not only can you use this technique on cow skulls, but it will also adapt perfectly to any miniature with bones, such as undead skeletons. It is also one of the most commonly used techniques for imitating the horns of fantastic animals such as dragons and all kinds of beasts, and even dinosaurs. Now that you know how to paint an animal skull, get to work and show us your results!
