Completed Imperial Gallery Grenadier Bust SBS

[davidmitchell]

Hi Guys finally managed to finish this bust.The Mitre cap was the cause of the hold up,trying to make all the writing readable.Have included two lots of photos with slightly different lighting to try and show the true colours.Enjoyed this bust ,the face has plenty of character and lots to paint.Now its time for something new, maybe one of the goodies I got from Santa.



Cheers David

Nice work with vivid colors.
the beard is the minus point in this painting, with less green shade would be more realistic in my IMHO.

You've really brought out the character David.

That is one great job overall David, but especially the face; there's so much character painted into it, really comes alive.

Very well done indeed, one of my favorite subjects. You did the 18th proud, great job on the mitre cap, worth the time I'd say.

Cheers

Fantastic results. :awesome: I agree, his face looks real, and he looks like he's especially tired of dealing with those rebel colonials:lol:
