Martin, this bust is amazing in detail and work, let me tell you that the addition of the sash looks great and adds an interesting detail to the figure.
I really like this sbs.
Best regards

89. and last Day, 28. February 2013

And now: The final photos! They are pure reality and made without “shopping”!

I'm not fussed as drum - put a fitted sheet over two bottles of wine, my daylight lamp, the ceiling light and a floor lamp mutate into a "Photo Studio"...:

After taking this picture ...

…I took white sandwich paper over the lights - which has proved to be a good decision!

And now…:

Dear Planeteers,

may I introduce…:

(Иван Сирко(1610 - 1680), Кошевой атаманзапорожцев)
Iwan Sirko (1610 – 1680), Koschewoj Ataman of the Zaporoshian Cossacks

Conversion of a Young bust after historic templates…:

And at last:

Thanks to all of You, who accompanied me far to today, motivated me by kindly responses and giving helpful tips to me!

All the best to You!

 

[Joe55]
