Ratch Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Great work Jack I'm guessing by the paints used that you airbrushed the skin tones. Did you vary the mix over certain areas or just allow the density of the paint (with the primer showing through) to acheive the effect - and it is very effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackG Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Ratch and AnneM - thanks! Regarding skin tones, the airbrush was used only to apply three layers of flesh, with the paint being sprayed like it were a light source, with each successive one being lighter and less dense than the previous. There was still quite a bit of brush work done afterwards, particularly in the visible areas, while relying mostly on the 'Verdaccio' phase for the shadow areas. A no.1 size brush was used to add highlights, as well as some red tones - particularly her cheeks, upper chest, outsides of her arms, around the knees, etc. regards, Jack Edited March 4, 2014 by JackG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackG Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 giemme, Caerbannog, and Carts - thanks guys, it was a pleasure sharing the progress on this one. Ratch - indeed, preshading by the old masters. One other interesting bit about the verdaccio method, when used in depicting a deceased subject, it was left as is with no further colour added. This explains why sometimes you see some period paintings with people displayed in a yellowish-green tone. regards,Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockster Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 A lovely piece of work, the armoured discs are a stroke of genius! :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
