Just finished this classic bust from Latore Models. A bit smaller than the usual 1/10 scale but a really great sculpt.
Hope you like him.

Full of life, great choice of colors, love skin tones, the shade of beard, eyes and rings. The softness of the plume is very realistic. Fantastic!

Incredible art work, Dimitrios! I wonder what colors do you use for this beautiful skintone.

 

[jimias]

Thank you guys for the kind comments. I surely appreciate each and everyone of them.
Kaz my friend for flesh i use josonja's acrylics. I always start with a mixof raw sienna ,burnt sienna and some napples yellow hue. This results in an orange like tone. From there you can go for whatever basic fleshmix you want adding warm or cool tones. I highlight adding napples yellow hue and shadows are done with a mix of brown madder and burnt umber to the base. After everything is done i always use very dilluted filters of various colors to give some life to the flesh.
