Acrylics Painting a cossack-bust

[JST]

Martin, as for me I think that this guy could hardly smoke that cigar. Russian usually smoke hand-made cigarettes =)))

 

[Martin Antonenko]

Many thanks to You, Carl and Gordy!

And @Oleg:

Also to You "Thank You"!
As I wrote in my Post #78 our kosak smokes just a cigar which he has carried off in a German house in August, 1914 in East Prussia.
To form this scene realistically I have specially selected a cigar brand which was smoked at this time in Germany a lot.

(Также тебе сначала большое спасибо!
Поскольку я написал в своей Почте #78 наш kosak курит как раз сигару, которую он захватил в немецком доме в августе 1914 в Восточной Пруссии.
Чтобы оформлять эту сцену реалистично я специально выбрал марку сигар, которая курилась в это время в Германии много.)

A fine weekend to You all - and all my best wishes to our members in Japan!

Regards and a fine weekend to You, Oleg!

Cheers

102. Day, 14. March 2011

Today I have come back to a proposal from another forum.

There I was pointed out to the fact, that the moustaches (and often also the teeth and fingers!) of strong smokers at certain places (where the nicotine gets) brownish-yellowish discolorations show.

So I have with these colours …

… suitable nicotine discolorations in the moustache of my Cossack shown, indeed, without exaggerating this!

These discolorations originate in the beard only at the places where the nicotine also gets really – predominantly round the mouth.

Now thus I have also explained with my Cossack. In the middle the effect is stronger, to the outside he runs gently from …:

 

[gordy]

Nice touch with the nicotine stains

 

[Dmitry Belolipeckii]

Very nice person

Many Thanks, Gordy and Dmitry!

Today, unfortunately, the time has reached only to paint mouth.

I have taken for it these colours …:

The Light Flesh was used only for the lights on the lower lip …:

Tomorrow I want to see to make forehead and chin.

 

[Martin Antonenko]

104. Day, 16. March 2011

With these colours …

...I have made today first of all the forehead …:

As you can see, moreover, I have with these colours …

… the chin started.

The lights in the chin are still absent …

105. Day 17. March 2011

Now the chin also is ready …:

Martin looks very, no no, VERY VERY COOL!

106. Day, 18 March 2011

Thanks a lot, Oleg!
I also think, the face looks not so bad …

Today I have painted the eyebrows.

The same colours were used like with the moustache …:

Indeed, I have been hiding with the light grey tones a little bit, because eyebrows grow considerably more slowly than hair and beard hair – and as a result of that also turn grey more slowly.

Who exactly looks, will recognise that I was also in the moustache once more in it.

Friends in another forum had got to me to limit the yellowish-brown discolorations to the lower beard end directly over the mouth.

I have still made this of course.

Here my results…:

And with this state I say goodbye in the week-end.

 

[housecarl]

You have the craziest way of painting, but it works.
Looking good,
Carl.

 

[Martin Antonenko]

You have the craziest way of painting, but it works.

I agree.

Today I have had little time, which is why I only the hair splendour of my Cossack with "Chocolate Brown" …

… have undercoated …:

 

[housecarl]

You've base coated all the hair in one go.
Carl.

 

[Stephan]

indeed, i cant believe it too..

 

[Jamie Stokes]

As always, fantastic to see,

even if painted in stages, different to the norm.

Cheers
