-Shiver me bones!!! Shipmate!!!

That is not a dead parot it looks really alive.
I just love those norwegian blue.....

The face is good but best is the five o clock shadow. It could be the light or the photo but perhaps the hair and eyebrows could have more highlights.

Please have a close up of the eyse and the teeth.

hell(0) Urak-Hai,
the five"0"Clock shadow is indeed the photo.
I am not so good in painting fleshtones.
It seems that the most of you use acrylics, and not so many oils ( for the fleshtones)

Are you sure?

Erwin!

When I say the "five o clock shadow" I mean the unshaven area of his jaw. He looks like he have a two day old beard. I think the fleshtones are good maybe again the hair and eyebrows could need some more highlighting but it could also be the photo.

I work almost exclusivly in Humbrol, but use artist oils as well as goldprinters ink and acrylics for special occations.

I understand.
He has indeed a 2 days old beard. did this only with Raw Umber, this time it worked well, but normally I f*cked the whole face.
I had luck this time.
Should do something about the hair, but don't know what. Adding more white?
