Thanks a lot for your compliment, Alexandros!

Okay, Here's more progress... almost finishing. I painted mustache, biplanes on plinth, added 3rd highlights and shadows...etc. Only thing left is lens of the goggles. I wanna add some glossy stuff on its surface but I still thinking...

Well done Kazufumi, you have done a very nice work.

Beautiful, realistic painting, I like the bust very much

Great work Kazufumi.
Indeed a wonderful finish.
I have one question.
Are you applying black about the part which becomes the black shadow?
Or influence of lighting?
I'm thinking black to be applying.
I'm thinking charm of this figure exists there when it's so.

Mitsutaka.

Thank you very much for your compliments, CHRISTOS, Carl, Windtalker, Mitsutaka!

I applied black to every shadows. Not only "pure black", but also I used "blown + cadmium red + black" and "Green + Black" on face, "Blue + Black" and "Green + Black" on Leather Jacket...I used several kinds of blacks for shadows, added differently by the base color.

And, I took this photo on my desk, only natural daylights from outside, I didn't use lightbulb of desk lights. I took this photo using my wife's iPhone 4 camera ( I usually use iPhone 3GS), and it looks shadows are a little bit stronger than it really is. To my eye, shadows are a little bit more softer in real.

Great stuff Kaz...
