... getting there !! good work on the face !
Maybe just a few more highlights with a light flesh colour, on the top of wrinkles in the forehead, upper ridge of the nose, upper eyelids, cheekbones, corners of upper lip, and on the chin ?

Great face Rob.
Carl.

 

[megroot]

Nice work so far.
I don't like the hard shading. You can fade it out more.

Hi Rob,
That is progressing very nicely, love what you are achieving with the face, looks like a grizzled old veteran.
cheers

I was going for the 0500hrs reveille look of a 20 years service Sgt, gently waking the soldiers for duty at Waterloo.

 

[Kevin D.]

"Gently" indeed! A mean lookin' grizzled ol' soul. Like him a lot!

Rob, Are you doing this in oils or acrylics or what? Like the face! Lots of character!

Thanks

Kevin

 

[Ventress]

GW new acrylics- which are very good for my needs. The washes and glazes are very good and matt down very well.

Hi Rob,
Coming on leaps and bounds, I like it.

[Ventress]

Attached to the superb base, hands hold the crossbar pike without a gap.

 

[Wings5797]

Nearly there Rob.
Looking a real treat, keep plugging away.
Cheers,
Keith
