Brian, great result for a first attempt at Dark Skin, I can only envy your expertise and do you ever watch TV or sleep, you just bang one thing out after another, its great keep them coming.

He's by FER Miniatures and i think his name was "Jamel" as he was a fantasy bust.I added the collar and chain.
I undercoated him in Humbrol 93 Desert Yellow ,and then used a mix of Warm Sepia,Naples Yellow and Tit White and Lamp black and Naples Yellow for his hair and beard etc,.I always try to keep my colours as simple as possible,hence Warm Sepia and Naples Yellow is a great starter for black skin.

I try to paint every day,as i can totally shut down when i'm painting.Watch a lot of telly and i'm on the computer a lot.The rest of the day i just waste

Brian sounds like heaven, any wonder your turning out beautiful work lol.

Trust me Terry,it don't come easy.I can have days where it's a struggle.I've got a couple ive been working on for some time ,and had to put them on the back burner

I know what you mean, painting can take your mind of things and I am sure everyone will agree it can also melt your head, but that's whats good about PF there is always inspiration to help us along.

Well I say your first attempt was a total success !
