Bust Painting Guide?

[jacksparrow1979]

I was thinking of using these guides from this site (http://www.acesofiron.com/paint.htm) as a basis for painting my busts. The only difference will be that I'll be using acrylics to paint uniforms etc and oils to paint skin and flesh tones. Would these guides be ok or would I need to be a little more refined?

I don't see any reason to argue with what is presented on that site. I think it's entirely up to you. With tht said, there is no hard and fast way to paint using any medium, only sugestions from people with experience sharing their ideas. Your best bet will be to experiment, test mediums, and PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

I get what you mean - it's all down to personal preference and what you feel comfortable with.

I totally agree with Jay! Trust me, there are no shortcuts to painting. If there were a shortcut I would have found it. You have to find your own style and as Jay said....PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE and do not be afraid to make a mistake. Your next figure will always be better than the last! Just my 2 cents.
