Excellent work Bruno. I have this figure and I am going to paint it in the next future. I am very impressed with your way of painting the flesh. I never painted legs and I am afraid about the way of solve the muscles with lights and shadows. Did you have any advice for help me in doing that?

Thank you rafa. My painting for the skin is as follows with acrylic colors Vallejo (Prince Auguste in French).
Base: 927 (60%) + 909 (20%) + 921 (20%)
I make then the shadows: base + 984. Three times with a little more than 984 each time.
Ligths : : base + 928. Four times with more and more of 928
The painting is more thin down.To keep it a maximum of time usable (at least 10 hours), I use the "The palette humide", that I learned of a training course of 3 days painting with Jérémie Bonamant.
The percentages are given as an indication, and I write the numbers of paintings, because I do not know the English or Spanish names, with by the 909 (bermellon?) .

Sambaman and Guy : thank you very much

Garyjd, the shield took me a while and patience... but in the final, Im' satisfy. For the skinned knee, the sculpture is to make a success, that the paintbrush work alone :lol: ,
