Swimmwagen Driver Finished

[gforceman]

Hi Gents and Lady,

Included I send a picture of the driver of the Swimmwagencrew by Jaguar. Hes' painted entirely in acrylics. It's for a Dutch client, so I won't be placing him in his vehicule myself. The codriver needs to be ready by this weekend, I'll place pictures of him when finished.

As always I would love to hear what you think of him and what I need to do to improve the next one.

Many thanks in advance,

Gino

Hey Gino!

Looking great as usual! What flesh tone mix did you use for this figure? Keep up the good work.

Hi Anders,

Here are the colours I use to paint pale skintones: Light Flesh (Vallejo 928) + Burnt Cadmium Red (VA814) + Old Rose (VA944)
Highlight: Base + Beige (VA917) + more Light Flesh + Titanium White (Polucolour). Final highlights are with pure TitaniumWhite.
Shadow: Base + more Burnt Cadmium Red + Royal Purple (VA810) + Dark Prussian Blue (VA899) + Lamp Black (Polycolour)
5 'o clock shadow: very light washes of Dark Prussian blue, Payenes Grey (PC) and Lamp Black.

wow, i really like the flesh tones, particularly the pinkish around the eyes!

Hi Gordy,

This is achieved by painting a very thin layer of the following colours after the skincolour was finished : Scarlet (VA817) (This was also painted on the hollow of the cheecks, tip of the nose, lower parts of the ears) and Royal Purple.

I hope this helps at least a little. If anyone has more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Greetz,

Gino
