What it is used for
The Playmarker Black Skin is ideal for applying the base tone of dark skin tones quickly and cleanly, both on small-scale miniatures and larger projects. Its felt tip allows precise line control and makes it easy to work in hard-to-reach areas. Some common applications:
- Painting dark skin tones on wargame miniatures (fantasy, science fiction and historical figures)
- Quick base coating on scale figure models with black or very dark skin tones
- Colouring cosplay accessories and parts that require a dark skin tone
- Shadow and depth effects on dioramas with figures
- Touch-ups and corrections on SFX and artistic characterisation projects
- Colour sketches and quick tests on modelling surfaces before applying final coats
How to use it
- Surface preparation: clean the piece free of dust and grease. For maximum coverage and adhesion, apply a white spray primer beforehand (such as the AK Interactive primers from the Sprays range). The Playmarker Black Skin covers over white with much greater effectiveness and uniformity.
- Priming the marker: shake the Playmarker well before use. Press the tip gently on a test surface until the paint flows evenly to the felt tip.
- Application: apply the colour directly to the piece with short, controlled strokes. You can layer coats to increase coverage or create transitions. The paint is compatible with wet-on-wet blending.
- Drying: drying is fast thanks to the water-based acrylic formula. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next one or before weathering.
- Finishing and weathering: once dry, the paint perfectly withstands ageing products and effects without any risk of lifting. You can varnish with any type of varnish (matt, satin or gloss) to protect your work or change the final finish.
- Cleaning: clean the tip with water if necessary. If the tip becomes clogged with dried paint, it can be replaced with a new replacement tip compatible with AK Interactive Playmarkers.
Usage tips
Work in thin layers
Even though the Playmarker Black Skin has high coverage, applying thin layers and allowing them to dry between coats will give you much more control over the final result. Avoid overloading the tip all at once: it is better to apply two light passes than one heavy one that may create build-ups or stroke marks.
Use the tip to blend
The felt tip of the Playmarker allows you to work wet-on-wet if you act quickly. You can blend freshly applied colour with a damp brush to create smooth transitions towards highlights or shadows, which is very useful when painting skin tones on fantasy miniatures or wargame figures.
Combine it with the rest of the Playmarkers range
Black Skin works very well as a dark base on which to build highlights with lighter tones from the Playmarkers range. Plan your colour scheme in advance to get the most out of the marker within a streamlined workflow that requires no palette or water for thinning.
Frequently asked questions
Can this type of marker be used on any surface?
The Playmarker Black Skin adheres to plastic, resin, metal and wood. For the best adhesion and coverage, it is recommended to apply a primer beforehand, preferably white. On unprimed surfaces, results may vary depending on the material.
Is the finish of this type of paint always satin?
The finish of the Playmarker Black Skin is satin due to the nature of the pigments used. If you prefer a matt or gloss finish, you can apply the appropriate varnish once the paint has dried, without any risk of damaging it.
Can weathering be applied over this type of paint?
Yes. Once the Playmarker Black Skin has dried, the paint perfectly withstands the application of ageing products, washes and effects without lifting or deteriorating. This is a characteristic behaviour of the acrylic formula of the AK Interactive Playmarkers range.
Is it necessary to use a white primer before applying this colour?
AK Interactive recommends using a white primer before applying the Playmarkers for the best results in terms of coverage and colour accuracy. In the case of the Playmarker Black Skin, a very dark tone, you may also consider a grey or black primer depending on the effect you are looking for, although coverage will be at its maximum over white.
