WIP Young miniatures - British tank crew "Tea Time"

[VisjeMar]

Hi all,

here my latest work. Another young miniatures a special edition this time.
I went back to Vallejo acryls this time.



Basic sketch work for the shade and highlights

And bleeding on the other side

I'm looking forward to the goggles I hope to paint some depth in them because I don't like the box-art look of them

For now happy holidays

Nice work Martin. The "teddy-bear" suit (winter tank overall) is not as dark as it has been depicted on the box-art. I'm sure you'll have a handle on it.

Have a good holiday break!

Not my period of interest but following as it's a lovely bust.

Looking great

 

[MacCoy]

Excellent paintwork!

 

[khollar]

Great start, Martin! That’s looking good!

[Lucas Ferron]

That's a great start, Martin. I'm getting really interested in this sketchy approach, have you had any experience sketching several colors as a undercoat before blending the skin tones?
Cheers!

 

[VisjeMar]

thanks all, I hope you had some nice holidays and some time to paint. I've blend the most part of the face and painted the moustache and eyebrows.

@ Lucas, I followed a workshop of Kiril Kanaev with does it this way. The difficult part is the blending but isn't that always?

All painted with Vallejo.
Base: brownsand
Shade: added Burn Cad.Red, Burn umber and some violet red.
Hgihlights: added basic skintone

Tones: Yollow ocker, old rose and middelstond

I still have to blend some of the middelstond here

All the best
Martin

You've nailed the goggles Martin. Good stuff.

Phil had said it, you've nailed the Goggle's.
The flesh tone is really good too.
