A Snadbar or is it a Barsnad?

[Helm]

Two of my favorite painters on here as well as being two good blokes inspired me to try copying their styles/effects, I don't who the original sculpt is by or indeed where I got it . But anyway Carl Barton and Brian Snaddon this is all your fault As ever thoughts, criticism etc etc appreciated. I think it's finished but please let me know if there is more I can do. Oh and just to annoy Ron T the base is a B&Q knob for a drawer

This represents a massive leap forward in your technique Steve. The face is excellent, great tones and the eyes are really well done. You might want to create a bit more depth in the hair and beard by adding a darker tone wash into the deep areas. When it's dry maybe a glaze to tone the hair shade down a bit.
Great work
Cheers
Derek

Thanks for the advice Del, it's not so much a leap forward as a slavish copying of others work

Hi Steve, big leap forward for you mate-don't worry about copying the work of others that's how we all learn. "Remember Creativity is undetected plagiarism!"

See you in three weeks......Keith

Good work Steve and the little tweak with the hair worked a treat. Looking forward to seeing you and her at S&L mate.

 

[billyturnip]

Her? I know you're from Yorkshire Rog but surely even your women don't have quite that luxurious moustache growth?
Steve

Oh dear, that's what three weeks at sea does to a man.
Anyway she's still got lovely hair but needs to get her top lip sorted.
