Hey guys,

Update of this bust. )

Lights only have been done. I think it needs a bit more lights, what do you think??

Any critique and comments are always welcome,

Samwel

P.S. Sorry for the bad pics (

Sam,
I think you need no more highlights. If you do the shading you shell see that the light's our "coming out".
But you must fix that pink color.

I guess it's not finished yet so all I'm going to say is ; very good start

Hi Sam

You've made a very good start on your pirate mate, and I'm looking forward to seeing him when he's finished.

Just a note on the skin tones...remember that pirates/ sailors etc would have spent many years at sea exposed to sun, sea and salt. The skin would be as hard as old leather; deeply tanned, scarred and lined, particularly around the eyes (ie. crow's feet) and cracked lips from the salt spray . His nose would probably have a lovely rosy glow from broken capilliaries under the skin resulting from years of swigging rum and eating a poor diet. Pirates weren't exactly famous for their personal hygiene either, so its a fair bet he hasn't washed his face for a long time. If you're looking for a good reference, I'd have a look at the make up on Geoffrey Rush, who plays Captain Barbosa in "Pirates of the Caribbean". Hope this help you.

Cheers
