amazing work, I love head and short hair shadow

 

[Sambaman]

Great work here David! Your muted palette is pefectly executed! Are you an oils man? If so, can you share how you're getting the lovely short hair effect and 5 O'clock shadows so nicely even and realistic. Thanks!

Thanks guys for all your kind comments.Yes Jay all painting in oils,mostly painted wet on dry and using stains all done over white undercoat no underpainting.The hair effect was done with subtle stippling over dryed flesh.

This is a wonderful work.
A facial expression is nice.
The fur expression is also beautiful.
And a ground work is original and great.
I'd like the feel of a material of the snow.
