Hi figureneers!!!
I work on a new fantastic figure,( the beast of Joaquin Palacios ) which I shall like painting completely in purple, Beast is in purple, Hulk is in green.
My base is purple pure.
The problems of choice begin later. I work on the acrylic and that I shall like obtaining a figure with rather clear tones. Regrettably if I add of the white to the purple for the hightlights I find that it gives a little bit chalky aspect.
It is what it gives onto some drawing paper at least!! :angry:
My essays are not decisives, (to clear up to the white and to shade in the prussian blue give a too dark figurine).
the question is : at your advice, with which colors I have to clear up the purple, and with which colors I have to darken. The look is that of a sort of gorilla in tones purples. Fur (Hairs? Coat?) cannot be very differentiating, will be needed few contrasts.
Thanks. Bruno

Hello for the purpule color I never use white to do lights, I use another color like magenta or red with acrylics colors and to fo shadows I use deep blue or dark blue myabe with a little bit of black in the mixture I hope to help you....
cheers

Ernest I just checked out your gallery via the link. Your reds and yellows are outstanding! I especially like mal.01 and axe_001. How did you do the heraldry?

Thanks Bruno for all my heraldry works I draw with a pencil the shape or heraldry that I want and the rest is brush with acrylics vellejo and of course a lot of patient and good eye... that's all my friend. Remember to use a good quality brush.

Thank you Ernest. You think as me, no white into light . On the other hand I shall not have thought of the red I am going to test
