Getting believable browns onto a model comes down to smooth steps between tones, and that's exactly what the Flexible Triad system is built for. This Ruddy Browns set gives you a family of browns that move cleanly from dark to light in one consistent hue, so bark, leather and fur come out looking properly natural rather than flat and one-note.
