Hey guys,

Well, here is the first attempt at the acrylics for flesh. I was inspired to paint this figure after seeing the very nice version by Luca. I hope to have a few more pictures later but here are the first ones.

Joe

another one. I still need to do more to it but it is a start.

Joe, I love the coloring on this face. It's dead on.~Gary

Looks great so far, Joe!

Please share your acrylic mix.

Your avatar is awesome!...It's incredible.

Joe,
I'm an oils man, so I almost hate to admit it, but this acrylics work looks absolutely spot-on! Risking the loss of yet another "oily", you seem to have nailed it!

It looks really good Joe. I think you've got it.

Hi Joe,

I'm an oily too, but yes ... you got a great result with acrylics this far ! I'm anxious for the final result.

Johan

Hey guys,

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I am pretty well pleased but still see miles to go on improving.

Hey Jason,

Thanks, I found this avatar and said to myself, Gosh! I got to have it.

The mix for this flesh is the same as the other one except the base coat is beige red + English uniform. The highlights were more beige red. Then beige red + basic skintone, then the next was basic skintone + light skintone. The shadows were more English uniform and then I added some burnt umber for the deepest and some beige brown for some middle ones.

I hope this is clear if not just let me know.

Joe

Hey guys,

Thanks a lot for the kind words. I am enjoying this and looking forward to trying to paint some more flesh soon. In the mean time here is a picture of the pants. I have the coat about finished and will post pictures of it soon.

Dick,

Will be glad to keep in touch with you.

All the best,

Joe

He's looking good Joe.......keep on going.

Hey Guy,

Thanks. Here are a few more updated pictures.

Joe

another one

Joe, He's looking good. I know the groundwork is not painted, but is he going to be placed in a bit of a snowy setting? A little snow on the ground and some on top of the pillar might contrast well with his uniform.~Gary

Very nice Joe!!

And I think that Gary is on to something with the snow idea.

Francesca

Hey Gary and Francesca,

Thanks and you both are on to something :lol: I had planned on snow or mud and last week Mike said snow and now you both have said the same so "Le t it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!" :lol:

Joe

Just make sure there's a bit on the top of the pillar. I think we sometimes forget it comes from up above and the ground is not the only place it falls onto.~Gary

VERY NICE,Joe !!! More,please !
Kenneth .
