I did some pictures of the flesh tone I've achieved. Still have unfinished eyes and hair need highlighting. The finish is quite glossy. Once I finished the rest of the head I will dullcote it with Tamiya matt varnish.

Pedro, Martin - thank you so much for your feedback. I think, I am still far, far away from top painting, but it is nice to hear that you like it.

 

[Andrew Craft]

Looks great Piotr, nice work.

Looking fine, man.
Good transitions as far as I can see.

 

[Piotrec]

Andrew, Robert - thank you.

 

[Piotrec]

I consider fleshtone finished. I painted eyes and hair. Little bit here and there and two very thin layers of matte varnish at the end. This is how it looks right now:

Looks great, better with the matt varnish on.

The flesh looks excellent, waiting for the next installment,

Really nice work on the flesh tones! You really did took advantage of the delay
The only thing I believe that could make it even better is a bit more of highlights in the hair areas.

Carl, Fernando - thank you very much. I am really glad you like it.

There was something about the hair I did not like from the begin. Actually it was hard for me to find the right tone for it. I wanted some contrast between flesh and hair. So I ended up with a some red brown color for the hair, which I am still not very pleased with.
Definately will consider adding more lights to it. Just maybe later on. All my attention is around the shirt right now

 

[Fernando Ruiz]

Keep in mind that, as he have very small hair areas, some highlighting or shading can modify greatly the overall look of the thing. Keep us updated

I took this picture as a referance for myself, but at the end I decided to show to you, so maybe I can get some hints.

I was looking for a cool white when it comes to the shirt. At this stage, I would consider torso finished. I have painted highlights on the arms and still need to apply shadows.



Let me know what you think.

 

[Fernando Ruiz]

Wow!
Really nice flesh. And a very clean paintjob! The shirt tone is also nice. Keep in mind that the shadows you apply on it will determine the final look.
Really good job!

Now that is nice Piotr.
Carl.

 

[Andrew Craft]

Awesome work mate!

 

[Piotrec]

Fernando, Carl, Andrew - thank you guys for your compliments. It is very encouraging.

Fernando when you talk about the shadows, do you think about torso too? Do you think it needs more darker shades?

 

[Fernando Ruiz]

No, I was talking about the shirt. White is a colour that can easily go to another tone depending of the colours you use for shadowing. Just wanted you to keep that in mind.
