Very pleasing to the eye. Love it.

Nice work so far, Adrian. A difficult subject, but you got it spot on.

A bit late, but thank you all for the hints and tips. I eventually chose to make a mix for cadmiumred and prussian blue and mix that with the basecolor. Although the grey was a nice shadowcolor, It didn't feel comfortable when I had to make new mixes. It was harder to get the exact color again...

Hello Planeteers, Here is my latest project, still in progress. It's a 54mm miniature by the company Kings Road Miniatures. I fell in love with the pose of the figure. And it's nice chance to paint an african american for a change. Grtz Patrick

Thank you for sharing. Great SBS.

Harley Quinn is one for the christmas list. :love:

Final thoughts: There are a lot of books on the market about figure painting and none of them are "bad". But most of the books I own don't show how figure painting is exactly done. The techniques are mentioned only in text or only by photograph. So most of the time you still have to figure out...
