    Here's mine. Painted with oils.
    Using thin glazes of Burnt Umber I've started building up the shaded areas of the face, when it has dried I'll continue the process into the deepest shadow areas.
    The iris will be tidied up when what has already been done has dried. I also added a glaze of Venetian Red + White between the shaded and highlighted areas to tie them together.

    The armour and mail has got a preliminary coat of Cold Grey.

    Are you using acrylics or oils Steve?

    Oils over acrylics I always struggle with highlights/shadows doubly so on flats I'll add some more burnt umber

    Gently does it, try not to put too much on at once, gradually build up the colour. (y)

    Thanks Rich, I don't know if it's the correct way or even the best way but after realizing I was applying oils way too thick I just use thin coats now like painting with acrylics.

    That's okay Steve, leave it to dry and then we can apply some thin glazes to soften the edges and tie it together. It will also look better when the eyes have been done.

    It's a job to see through the reflection of the wet paint Steve but I looked at it in super dooper size and for me it looks pretty special.
    Press on Mate I think you are on the right side of bloody good.
    Cheers,

    Steve, while you're waiting for the face to dry put a couple of coats of your basecoat on for the armour. I'm using Cold Grey oil but you use what you like, oil, acrylic, metallic, it's the placing of the shade and light that matters later.
