Pastels have two jobs on a figure. The obvious one is light cloth – summer dresses, child figures, anime styling. The more practical one is highlighting: adding a pastel instead of white lifts a colour without washing it out to grey. Six shades cover the spectrum, including a peach that works beautifully in skin highlights.

FAQ
Why highlight with a pastel instead of white?
White desaturates – it turns red into a washed-out pink. A pastel from the same colour family lifts the value while keeping the hue, so the highlight reads as lit cloth rather than faded cloth.
Do pastels cover well?
Yes, they are opaque light shades with a high white pigment load. Over a dark base still plan for two thin coats.
Can the paints be bought individually?
Yes. These are standard shades from the AK 3rd Generation range in 17 ml bottles, so when one runs out you only replace that one.
Can they be airbrushed?
Yes. Thinned with 3rd Generation thinner they pass through a 0.2 mm nozzle as easily as lacquer paints. Neat, they are meant for brushwork.
More paint sets are in the AK 3rd Generation Paint Sets category, and individual shades in AK 3rd Generation.
