WIP Critique Alatriste

[Andrew Craft]

Hi guys,
I started on Alatriste from Elite Miniatures today. I have the leather best completed and the face done too. Since taking the photos I have redone the eyes to look down the sword blade better. A long way to go yet but I'm enjoying painting again.
Feel free to comment or critique honestly.
Thanks for looking in.
Andrew

Love this figure, and the film, that leathers looking very good.
can I ask what colours you used on the leather, and how you shaded it? I'm trying to mute my colours down and this looks exactly what I'm trying to achieve.

Hi Andrew!.
Face looks very nice,indeed.I know really how difficult is to get the eyes properly painted...and you did it very well...
Hope to see more updates soon

Thanks for the comments guys.
Krom I used a lot of golden blonde tones in the leather for the lighter colours and the darkest brown I had. There are also some burgundy tones in there and then I wash it all in a dark brown wash to tie it all together.
Hope that helps.
