i think you did well on all the other areas though! eyes are a pain and no mistake. my technique is to paint the eye in a dark colour like Umber. next i paint the Iris in my chosen shade, then the pupil in a shade of black and finally put a dot of off-white either side in each corner followed by...

here ya go! debil -- i tend to think of them as a Transparancy because like inks, most folks use them over an acrylic which are most certainly opaque Enion- the book is called Colour Theory and its by Jose M. Parramon and printed by Watson Guptill. ISBN is 0-8230-0755-3. bought it years...

thanks Badfellow! could not make out the black lines too well at first. cheers --- tim :)

try this mate! a book i have on Classical pianting says you only need 4 colours; magenta, green, cyan blue and yellow, which mixed in varying amounts can make any flesh tone or shadows/highlights you want. truth is that real shadows are not Reddish/brown/orange ect. they are 'Greys' so as...

? not sure what is being said in the diagrams Zoblovs, can you explain what the picture are trying to say? all the best --- tim:)

awww! cheers mate, i nearly cried!! :)) heh,heh!

dont be too hard on yerself! hi Tony, tough job tattoos! are you using a 'Straight' colour or is it mixed up a bit? me, i treat Tattoos like Tartan and include colours from the background in the mix so they look part of the skin rather than on top of it. reckon yours are looking fine...

nice! have not picked up a brush for six months(time flies when on shift) but man! Hardy this is looking awesome mate now that the face is framed by beard and hat. will be watching in on this one . regards ----- tim :)

i like it! hi Robo, well i am of a different opinion on the eyes, the hood would indeed create strong shadows, especially if he was turned away fro the light. if this is the case then you could modify the skin tone to a Grey-er one which would shadow the skin tone and give a sense of realism...

sorry to hear that but.... another good reason to SYO Tony! (Sculpt Yer Own!):P. i like 120mm figs , nice size for AB and brush; what with doing my large anatomy practice pieces, i need to find a scale thats compatible in Military cirlces and an era or muse! will be watching in on this one...

update? so is the piece all wrapped up now Sniper? all the best --- tim :)

a change is as good as a rest ... and all i was going to say was that everyone 'plateaus' from time to time mate. i often find the best remedy is to take a break and do some research ie mess about with mixes and do some reading while not seriously trying to finish a piece. i generally pick a...

nice job Tony! looks like the 'pre- carving' worked in your favour, should pick out very well. 'He' has a proud bearing. liking the skin tone very much, very rich finish with great depth i feel. so what colour do the Maouri tattooists use then Tony? i know little of these interesting Folks...

now thats an interesting subject; never knew they existed so thanks for posting a lovely piece with informative background Vlad. Never tried Premo myself, how does it differ to Sculpey then ? all the best ---- tim.

you got me eyeing this one up! Andrea 90's are very reasonably priced arent they ? i am not big on WW stuff Hardy but its such a nice pose that it has an almost classical study feel to it. might give one a try. all the best ---- tim:)

always liked Scibor's work. this is a cool piece. very GW! :) regards --- tim :)

i like this! this is a nice looking figure Tony. where is it available(if at all) , nice size too. will watch your sbs on this. regards --- tim:)

Black Undercoating i would guess Hardy uses Black undercoat both to deepen his colours and to save on endless BlackLining with a Brush! Am i correct Hardy? its why i use it! but then i come from a Games Workshop background where Black is the preferred/most common undercoat.

me too! i was taught the same Hardy many years ago; its a good technique! very frustrating having primer rub off , i dont trust spray cans! looks great! liking the handling of the face mate. is this kit also 90mm? regards --- tim. :)

nicely done ! :) reggards --- tim:)
