Painting grey cloth - the cape of a Chaos Warrior
This tutorial is only part of a guide covering the painting process of a Chaos Warrior: Tutorial intro.
1. Basecoat of Codex Grey applied to the cape:
2. The cape is shaded using a mixed wash of Purple ink, Chestnut ink, and Chaos Black.

3. 1st highlight with Codex Grey leaving only shading in the deep folds of the cape:
4. 2nd highlight with Bleached bone added to Codex Grey.

The cape as in step 5, but with the rest of the back painted:
