That flesh work looks ruddy great Malc, as in you've captured a great weatherbeaten ruddy look in that guy. Very nice start indeed, hope you get enough time to keep this one moving along.

Thanks Nigel, The new AK flesh set helped me greatly in getting the tones and shades I wanted.
Although I had the chance for some bench time this morning, I wasn't in the mood,
fingers crossed I'll feel differently tomorrow, as I want to keep the momemtum going.

Ok, I don't see any updates, are ya nappin?

 

[MalcC]

Hi Steve, yes I've been napping, my bad.
There's no point in painting if your not in the mood, and this is one piece
I don't want to mess up.

Not much of an update, I've worked on the headscarf, trying to make it look faded.
The SC75 red set was used for this.
For the hat I've switched to oils.
A thinned coat of Lamp black was applied first, and the excess wiped off with a flat brush,
before adding various mixes, using Naples yellow, Mars Yellow, Burnt Sienna and Titanium White
to five a faded and weathered look.
There's still a sheen to it at the moment, but fingers crossed it should dry flat in a couple of days.
Then I'll push the detail further.

This fellas character is already there with the face, the hat looks good and will be great once dry. His bandana certainly is very faded, not sure I'd be brave enough to attempt it so I am hesitant to, but sweat stains on there would look ace.
