Hello friends
I have been working on this figure last week but I could not post photos, The figure is almost finished but I have decided starting with the flag
Well, I have finished the front part of the flag on three colors, but the most important and the true reason for this post is giving some advices for painting the letters on
You must have keep on mind some important steps.
first, you must be very patient when you start letters, they are very very good sculpted and you must paint them with the greatest realism you can, be patient please
second, the letters must be outlined, this is a hard process but is essential for the final result, so you have to paint all the letters on a dark color like I made on the golden ribbons in the blue uniform of the officer, remember the last post and follow theses steps, painting on a dark coilor like you were drawing the letter on the flag. This dark color will help you, it will be a oultine and it will be a good base for apply the real gold color. painting golden color over dark tone is easier than painting over grey primmer.
I´ll get two advantage with dark tone, outlines and a good base for golden real color.
The dark tone is a mix of matt brown and black.
Well I post photos, they are not good photos but they show you what i want to explain with my poor english LOL
.
Please be free of asking what you want.
Thamks and I´ll back with letters more advanced
