Hi all
many thanks for the comments they are much appreciated.

I have more or less finished the left arm, some touching up to be done and the edging on the cloak. the cloak is a bit shiny as the paints still wet










All for now
Paul

Hi Marc
not really stippling is with a larger brush, and i often use stippling its a good technique, pointilism same application, much finer brush and it takes a lot longer

Paul

Paul is corect; stippling and pontilism is not the same really. Ponitilism involves the aplication of painting many, many, many, many little dots of color with a very fine pointed brush- like a 3/0.

The effects that can be achieved with pointilism for simulating textures on wool uniforms, felt hats, leather and such are very cool.

Here is a very good SBS clip done by Dave Youngquest at Michigan Toy Solder showing and explaining how it is done on figures.
