[grasshopper]

Orange works well with the pea..good change I think..the challenge with this piece is to avoid looking like a 50s jet pilot and convey the Covid medical

Not much interest on PF for fantasy, imaginary stuff..and I only use oils..anyway don’t want to divert attention from the thread..other than to say Scientifc has great customer service and shipping via DHL..

 

[Marcin Morawski]

So much work and not much will be visible. The glass in the goggles (and what's underneath it) will be painted. I could insert clear polystyrene, but I would like to learn something new:

Eyes... just started. He'll be a little scared.

Keep safe. And do not wear masks, when it's unnecessary. To breathe with CO2 isn't very good for our health.

 

[grasshopper]

Good intensity..the eyes are everything

 

[Marcin Morawski]

Almost...

I am still wondering about the shading of the upper surface of the eyes (somewhere up to 1/4) some gray, but I don't want to spoil something. The stethoscope just started.

 

[grasshopper]

Are you using the goggles?

 

[Marcin Morawski]

Are you using the goggles?

Of course, ma man!
I'm starting right now to play with goggles. I use the works of Andrzej A. Sadowski, an artist who died in 2016, a photorealist, his works are amazing.

Base paint, mixed with black and gray, depending on the location on the glass of the goggles.

Longer fun with it promises to be.

 

[Marcin Morawski]

Two more attempts. Various techniques, as you see. I'm quite content with the second one, only transparent effect is missing...

 

[grasshopper]

Eyes really convey emotion

 

[Nap]

Hi Marcin

Was wondering about the goggles ...and now we know ...works well , like the way you've painted the distortion of the hood under the lens

Agree about the eyes ...very emotional

Personally I would take the fiesh highs back a little but that's me

This release is a very special one and all credit to Scientific for their action

Following as always

Happy benchtime

[Steve Brodie]

nice work and blending on the suit

 

[Marcin Morawski]

Goggles. There's nothing I can do more. Of course it could be always better, but I leave it like that.

Dry brush wasn't too good... One-color lens (light blue), too...

Hi Marcin

You are making this piece something very special to see , a tribute to those we all owe so much

To me the goggles looked good before but it's always how you see it of course

Thanks for updates

Happy benchtime

For me, too, to be honest. Less is more - once Mig Jimenez said. I often forget this, and I try to open the door wide opened.

The mask lines are becoming redundant to the piece as you incorporate the mask on his forehead
