Painting a realistic 1/6 Indiana Jones head sculpt

[Joe Hudson]

Here is a 1/6 head sculpt of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. It was sculpted by Rocco the Sculptor and resin cast by Mike Allen.

I have been trying to get better with painting realism and hope that I can bring this style to some “historical” bust soon.

I used both airbrush and traditional brushes and all acrylic paints.

Thanks for looking

Very subtle and realistic skin tones Joe. I enlarged the pictures and the work really holds up.

Thank you. It’s still a learning process and it’s been fun trying to get better with these.

Great work, I love these hyper realistic faces, way too large for me to attempt though.

Wow, Joe. So good! I almost expect him to say "It belongs in a museum!"

Good morning Joe. So realistic and I have already 'picked up' a few tips from the way you have painted this face.
Excuse my ignorance on this [I am relatively new to this area of modelling], but is the wonderful skin texture already on the moulded figure, and you have then made a painstaking and realistic paintwork approach on it, or have you applied an incredibly minute and detailed surface technique [maybe using a thin sculpting paste with a sponge or other 'material'] on an original smooth surface and then applied your detailed painting technique? It's so good, even when using the close-up on the magnification button! Either way.....it's stunning.
With high regard,
Kim

Its truly magical the way you bring life to your figures, such an inspiration to us all.
This is the work of a master artist.
Actually I think Grand Master is more to the point.
