Hello all,
Here's my attempt at painting that wonderful Native American beadwork...I have some touching up to do and can see where I'll need a steadier hand in future, but overall a really fun figure to paint. I hope you like him.
Comments welcome as always,
Mary

It looks like you had a lot of fun painting the designs on the clothing. The effect is very neat. You also did a great job with the native american skin tones. I've never tried, but it does not look easy to get right. Well done.

Next time try to go a little farther with your highlights and shadows, especially on the face. Lately I've found if I take a shadow to highlight range that I'm comfortable with and then expand it a little (lighter highlights and darker shadows), I tend to be very happy with the end results.
