Nice one Tony.
I can certainly see the improvement over your last flat.

 

[billyturnip]

Nice one Tony and a huge step forwards.
On the next one don't be afraid to go even further with shade and light.

Good idea with the tricolour lettering too.

Looking good. It's a tough technique to master.
Try and blend a bit more at this stage to give you a pre shaded background.
Then as Roger says really push the shadows and highlights.
Cheers

thanks kev, glad you can see progress. the figure looks a bit better in real life than the photo shows but i know i still have a long way to go yet.
i am tempted to do another figure but cannot decide between a bust or a full figure for the exhibition

Great step forward.
Next step is to fade the high and shade colors more into the base.

Tony, a great result and I too like the tricolour lettering, wish I had thought of it.

i cannot claim credit for the tricolour lettering, it was roger who made the suggestion.
i would like to say thanks for such a great figure, it was a delight to work on
