Snakebite Leather washed over with Vallejo Smoke.
Or any of the vallejo browns (leather brown) again washed over with Smoke, it\'s worked for me in the past.

leather eh. well it just so happens that i have recently developed at least 12 different leather techniques for some orcs im working on - aided by a great deal of research (dont worry, you\'ll see them soon enough). its important to remember that leathers come in many shades and textures etc etc. if you want worn leather i suggest using sharp hilights combined with shadows - so...try snakebite, wash with the ink of your choice (brown ink or flesh wash for a reder look) then hilight with snakebite, bleached bone, and finally white. blending is not so important here. basically what im suggesting is *wethering it in a similar manner to scratches on metal*. to get more in depth, pait cross hatching/texturing before the ink wash.
remember, as i said....leather has many forms, i in fact, prefer leathers that are not done with inks (more like a simple tanned hide). try variations - for redish leather try dark flesh, black wash, hilighted with terracota, hilighted with terracota-white mix. for a grey hide (like um...i donno....brontox :twisted: ) try shadow grey, black wash, hilight codex grey, hilight white). leather is fun stuff, play around!
