Hey Kaz, it's not just the fact that the face looks like a real individual, you really perfected the art of that my friend, but the gun barrel and mag drum look incredibly realistic along with the uniform. Your experimentation is paying very high dividends, period! Keep the investment going, I'm in for the long haul to see where this takes us all.

It's been said, "The world is your Oyster." No kiddin, crank that puppy and Ruck On! This is the best class I've attended in awhile.



Cheers, Ski.

Hi Kaz,

Wow, that's an incredible bust and the face is exceptional. The video makes it look so easy but I can see the artistry and talent it takes to make something look that easy. Fantastic painting mate.

Thanks a lot for your warm compliments, Ski.
About the gun barrel and mag drum, I started using Citadel recently and I can get good results with them.
I like to use enamel + oil + printer's ink for the metal too and still I use it, but I'm investigating to get good result with acrylics.
Also, I used acrylics black ink and blue ink from Andrea Silver color sets. I like them a lot I can get very smooth diluted black and blue with water.

Thanks a lot for your comments too, Tony.
I'm glad you liked my video, and here's the final version of "Painting head". I made it higher resolution than the previous one so that you can view it on Youtube full screen.
