Dimitrios,

I do not know sure, but when this is one of your first figures you are doing well. Don't try to paint like the masters, you only get frustrated.
One step at the time. But your first steps are gigantic.
You can do the hightlighting of the shield when it is dry.

Hi Dimitrios
In my umble opinion the area you got right are the metal and the flesh area
but i have to say that i'm not sure about the blue and the white they look
too bright .Maybe the next time add some black and wood to your mix.
Sorry for the criticism but i think that you are very talented.

Dimtrie pas mia xara . Siga siga kai ola tha ginoyn .

I believe that you got some good way for the metals. maybe you must domore controlable washes , like films and not like flowing water to avoid "hush"in some areas. The clothe colors might be a bit bright . ok . But the main issue is that you are PAINTING my friend. Time by time, figure by figure, you will get where you like to go .... so ...just keep these brushes wet !!!

Hello Dimitrios
I like very much the metalls, but I think for my opinion the blueish skirt needs a littlebit more highlights an shadow. And one red line looks like a little crookedd
Maybe the pic is bad, because of flashlight.
Thanks for sharin
