I start to work on this very good Young Bust (My first). Mostly the face is completed and I start to apply some layers on the rest of the piece...

...Critics will be well received, I can handle

Hope so, given where you posted :D

I like the face a lot on this, well done and very in keeping with the scale. The skin colour is very believable, looks genuinely human and not a paint effect (y) The eyes looking down works well with the sculpt but I think the irises may be slightly different sizes or shapes (hard to tell in the photos).

Not sure how much of the hat is finished but on the main body of it, the texturing/colour variation looks odd to me. If you're intending it to look like leather I think the texturing should be finer but in this period I believe these were almost always made of wool felt, and if so nearly always a deep black.


...you are far to good a painter to be in the Brutal page :)
That's a notion we should disabuse ourselves of Ron - nobody is too good a painter (or sculptor) to post here.

Hello Enion, thank you very much to comment,

Actually, I just start to paint the other parts, beside the face, the rest is very much first layers (everything is painted in acrylics). Concerning the hat and the belt, I think that I will use oil over the acrylic, not sure yet...

Once again thank you for your time.

Regards
