WIP Mitches War Daddy 1/9th American Tanker bust

[Gellso]

Just started this excellent bust sculpted by Offo.

First time using Life Colour paints which are slightly satin.

I will now try and use glazes and inks to bring more contrasts and colour variations and hopefully smooth out transitions.

See what you think.

Hi Monty, thanks mate.

I used the life colour flesh set but just used the base and lights. They're really good to work with. I used scale 75 arabic shadow, blue, a dark brown and inks also.

Some more work done on the face.
The herring bone pattern doesn't work great but I gave it a go just to try it.

I found the face came together more after applying the inks.
