Although a lot has been done there is still more to go.

Please enjoy, and speak about what you like, and don't like.

Thanks.

These are the most recent photos. Taken around 2 am or so. Had to stop for the night. Pretty long session.

Darren,

That is really coming along now like the skin tones , I would push the highlights on the hair a bit more but that's my thing!

Really looking forward to seeing the shield

Thanks for sharing

Hey Nap,
I've been trying to decide about highlights but want to steer away from using a pure yellow. Right now the mix I am using is an ochre, black and red brown with a touch of white.

Do you have any recommendations to create a highlight?

Thanks,
Darren

 

[Nap]

Hi Darren,

I would have a look at using ochre and a touché of Lt flesh but maybe work with the pallete you already have as well .

Have a look on the site for WIPs on this piece might give you a few pointers

I also find that my pics seem to look different to the actual model in front on the bench !..or maybe I am just rubbish at piccy taking

Keep at it

Lt Flesh. Never thought of that. I did have a tan colour (desert sand) in mind.

Darren,

Contact me at [email protected] for sword. That is a Q not a G in email.

So I couldn't stay away!!
Did a little highlight to the hair. And also a little bit more leather..
Thanks for the tip Nap!

A really challenge. Not only new to painting busts, but also first female subject.

Well, not too bad of an evening.... so progress.
Happy with shield. Little nervous going in, but all in all, pretty smooth.
