Santa Claus - a flat

[BESPJL]

Hi,

it has been a long time since I post something here.
Time is on the short side.
This one should have been ready by Christmas.
These are the first strokes (only face and even this is not ready yet).
I used oils over acrylics.
The figure is from Fredericus Rex.

I would like to know your comment.

Cheers,
Paulo

Dear Paulo,
it`s nice to see a flat of us here on planet figure. I think you must give the face more contrast more shadow.
Try the follow mix for the face:

Shadow Color: A Mix of Burnt Siena + yellow Ochre light + Burnt Umbra + Viridian
For the Light`s: A Mix of Chrom yellow + Vermillion + Titanium White

Paint the shadow color thin over the whole face, then start with lightning with the secound mixture.
