WIP Celtic warrior 3rd century

[saruxaxa]

hi! I always love latorre models, so I decide to start painting this figure.

 

[Borek]

Oh, figure of my favorite sculptor. I'm curious how it will look in your design. Certainly great. I will follow... Cheers Borek

 

[swralph]

nice flesh

 

[sippog]

yeah, great flesh tones

 

[saruxaxa]

Well, here are the pictures of the progress





These are the colours I used for the skin


And these are the colours for the redhair



I wanna do a temperature contrast so I put blues in the shadows. Also I saturated the shadows, and desaturated the lights.

 

[pmfs]

Coming along nicely.

Pedro.

I do the entire shield (include weathering), the brooch, and the cotton cloak.
Hope you like the progress of my work, and see you in the next entry!
I´m thinking of doing a one tutorial of weathering and other of true metals, what you think? let me in the comments!

Hi Saruxaxa, any information, hints, tips, or anything else that you want to impart will be greatfully and greedily devoured. As an oldtime oil painter, I actually find acrylics very intimidating, and it would be great to find out about the ins and outs of this medium. Have you thought about writing for the articles forum?
Best wishes, Gary.

 

[saruxaxa]

If I can help I´ll do my best. I start today thinking about the sbs , and probably will be a video. Hope I can help some of you with my tips.
