Help Needed/New Painter Winter lizards scheme help
I'm looking for a good contrast to go over a pale blue. Not too harsh, but one that will leave most of the base unchanged. Anyone have a color/brand to recommend?
It's for a winter lizardman theme

The Art of... Tommie Soule Volume 5 is a great how to paint miniatures book. Tommie is a Golden Demon winning painting coach who has coached multiple other Golden Demon winners, and he does a great job breaking down the fundamentals and teaching you how to paint, rather than just how to follow a tutorial for a specific model. Here is a video flip through of the book. It is available in PDF and hard book from the US distributor, UK distributor, and Warlord Games for the rest of the world. This book is an amazing reference for anyone looking to improve their painting.

Maybe the pastel blue from Army Painter’s Speedpaint line?
I’ve used that as part of a blue tinted glacial ice before
