Really nice and clean sculpt. Congrats!

It may be the pics, but his left arm/shoulder looks a little under-developed possibly.

It's a nice bust to work on, but it has a slight error in the sculpting of the collar.
I didn't notice it until I was well into the painting.

Enlarge the thumbnail, and you'll see what I mean.

If you're still in the prep stage, then you have a chance to correct it, if you wish.

Cheers,
Andrew

 

[Marcin Morawski]

Andrew! Your help is invaluable! I didn't notice it either. I think it won't be too much of a problem to fix it. I'll make a seam on the shoulders and grind the unnecessary collar flat.
Thank you again!
It's a pity that I didn't find your thread sooner. Can I use your photo on my forum to illustrate the problem?

Stay safe, friends.
M.

No problem. You're welcome to use it Marcin.

Cheers,

That's a decent likeness of Napoleon Solo aka Robert Vaughn. He was a good actor - shame he got a bit type cast in that awful spoof Bond series. I liked him in "Bridge at Remagen"
I'm on this one!

Shirt.


First sketch - some grays:

Nuln oil:

Blend'n'glaze.

Still lot to do.

Nice work on the shirt so far Marcin. I just bought some Nuln Oil having seen the results you get with it

Hi Marcin

Nice update again using the Nuln ..the start of achieving the result you want ( I bought a bottie after Geoff Charman put me onto it )

Look forward to seeing this progress

Happy benchtime

A nice, little bottle of Nuln oil is always handy!

A few light gray layers and the shirt is basically ready, the transitions are soft, look good in any light - day, shadow, bulb.

Vest - dark gray base:

Step 2 - you guessed it! - nuln oil

Have a best day!

Hi Marcin

Nice use of the Nuln there , certainly works

Thanks for updates

Look forward to more on this fellow

Happy benchtime

Like that, thanks for showing your steps.

Hi!
I slightly shaded the bottom, perhaps unnecessarily, because probably after further work the effect will not be visible and I will have to tweak the contrast.

Stripes.
The layout is most visible in these photos.

I started out painting the lapels but it was average, basically hopeless and decided to go for a different method.
There are eight black stripes between the corner of the lapel and the hem of the vest, including the outermost ones. I'll start by assigning them, then move to the armpit. I will repeat the same on the other side.

Cheers!

Looking good Marcin. I hate doing stripes

So far so good...

 

[Airkid]

. Mine would have been a mess!

 

[Nap]

Hi Marcin

Thanks for updates

Very impressive lining ....you have done a really good job ......will you highlight on the folds ?

I know when I did the "Glory" bust from Mitches with stripes .......a lot of holding my breath !!

Look forward to the lapels being done

Happy lining in at the bench

[Marcin Morawski]

More stripes ... with trembling hands; They are not perfectly straight, but I think it naturally looks that way

will you highlight on the folds ?

Of course, well at least I'll try...

Hi Marcin

That looks good to me ...1 more side to go ! .......the striping definately works well

Interesting you haven't painted the flesh yet ?

Thanks for update

Happy benchtime
