That leather looks great.
The face is a little flat for me. A bit of more contrast will do it.

[Renéduret]

thank you Antonio.

I can tell you this one is fun to paint...

 

[recastingspecialties]

this surfacing in your initial painting how did you do this ? oil wash? acrylic wash?

 

[Renéduret]

the first undercoat were three dark washes with transparent acrylics. Black- grey.

just a check for what my bust was hiding.

it was enough to have a good grip for the paint to come.

Nice paintwork.

[Renéduret]

thank you Marc.
As you suggested I accentuated more dark areas.

Letting it dry for a while, you know.

I can't paint and sculpt at the same time, is like driving car and playing guitar the same time. Can be done but there will be trouble.

but I found out oils are my medium.

Glad to here that the oils are oke for you.
To speeding up the drying ( and really flat ) I put my figures in a drybox under a 60W lightbulb.
But in this case the leather must have a little shine.
