very nice rendering for leather, if you allow me? added more shadow in the hollows of the hair a few very dark ones will give you more volume in her hairstyle

Thanks for the post ...the ones featured above are other members versions but I will certainly think about your suggestion when I paint the hair on the bust

Just out of interest looking at the references what colours woukd you choose for the hair ?

Thanks for looking in

I know why you only do busts and not full figures Nap - because the pants haven’t been built yet that’ll take the job on.

Hi Nap

a nice start to this one. I do like the bust, but wonder whether it is just the angle of the photos or are the hands a little on the small side?
