Looking really good so far.
When you say "after blending" did you actually wet blend acrylics over your sketch or did you glaze the transitions?

 

[Rocco82]

Tremendous. Very nice.

Can I echo Rob. I was going to ask also what the process involves too!

 

[Ferris]

Great start Martin!

Lovely flesh tones and blending. Superb.

 

[VisjeMar]

Wow thank you all for the kind words.

Blending is done by thin layers and a lot of patience.
The abteilung 502 acryls helps a lot.

Next up some work on the front ammo pockets.
And also the 3D printed STEN is done

And for the colours

The basic of the jacked is 1:1 AK figures Denison tan base and khaki. Highlights with abteilung 502 light skintone. Shades with purple and black

The ammo pockets are base with field drab and the same highlights and shadow colors
