Here is the step-by-step painting process:

Step One: Base Coating (Primer Color)
1. Overall Priming: First, spray the entire figure with a layer of light grey primer from a spray can to enhance paint adhesion and check for surface imperfections.
2. Face Base Coat: Use natural skin tone as the main color, evenly spray exposed skin areas such as the face and neck, being careful to avoid the eyes and eyebrows.
3. Armor Metal Base Coat: Spray all metal base parts of the armor with gunmetal grey, ensuring even color and covering the primer.
4. Clothing Base Coat: Spray inner clothing with dark blue, ensuring neat edges where it meets the armor.
5. Hair Base Coat: Spray hair with light blue-grey, laying down the overall base color first, then adding layers later.
Step Two: Shadow Sculpting (Adding Three-Dimensionality)
1. Face Shadows: Spray shadows with dark skin tone in areas like eye sockets, under the nose, and jawline to create a sense of facial depth.
2. Armor Shadows: Use dark gunmetal grey for shadows in armor gaps and recesses, and deepen the grooves of gold decorations with bronze gold.
3. Clothing Shadows: Spray shadows with navy blue in the folds of the clothing to emphasize the drape of the fabric.
4. Hair Shadows: Use medium blue-grey for shadows on the lower layers and roots of the hair to differentiate hair strands.
5. Base Shadows: Spray shadows with near black on damaged and recessed areas of the base to enhance its sense of weight.
Step Three: Highlight Brightening (Emphasizing Texture)
1. Face Highlights: Use highlight pink on raised areas such as the forehead, bridge of the nose, and cheekbones for brightening, then dot on blush and lip color with light pink.
2. Armor Highlights: Use bright silver for highlights on the raised edges of the armor, and bright gold to brighten the raised parts of gold decorations.
3. Clothing Highlights: Use light blue on the raised areas of clothing folds to add gloss to the fabric.
4. Hair Highlights: Use highlight white on the hair tips and raised areas for brightening, simulating hair reflection.
5. Base Highlights: Use light grey on the raised edges of the base for brightening, differentiating different structural layers.
Step Four: Details and Effects (The Finishing Touch)
1. Energy Core: Apply a base coat of dark purple, then use blue-purple for gradient brightening, and finally outline with a silver fine brush.
2. Purple Energy Effect: Use transparent purple as the base, dark transparent purple for shadows, then fluorescent purple for highlights, blending a small amount of transparent blue into the edges for a gradient effect.
3. Detail Lining: Use a silver fine brush to outline the armor's pattern lines, and dark brown for eyeliner and eyebrows.
4. Base Patterns: Embellish the decorative patterns on the base with bronze to enhance detailed texture.
Step Five: Protective Finish
- After completing the overall coloring, spray a layer of matte protective varnish to fix the paint and unify the gloss, preventing subsequent wear.
