My latest addition to the Hogsmeade Christmas Village is a set of singers. I couldn't find any pre-made Dickensian singers in wizard robes, so I painted the old timey clothes in the house colors for Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. I didn't fully stick to the straight house color pattern; each one got a little extra Christmas flare for the season.
I purchased a set of 4 figures that were pretty roughly painted. I didn't do any edits to the actual figures this time, just repainted everything. First a coat of white paint, then block coloring the clothing, then dark washes. I used a black wash for the clothing and a dark brown wash for the skin tones. For a few areas I then also did some highlight dry brushing of the original color.
The faces were a little more complicated. A sold block color of skin tone, then a dark wash. Next a tiny dot of white for the eyes, then an even tinier drop of brown or blue for the iris! I then did a little dry brushing of the skin tone again and red lips for Gryffindor.
