Still lots to do on this one, but here's how he's coming along...haven't decided on the jerkin color yet. Comments/tips welcome as always. Working in acrylics.

Keith Richards!

Rather Picasso

The face transitions is where I'm having trouble on this one. I had a look at others' work on this figure and am still trying to get it right. Keith Richards would be proud

Hi Mary, I started this guy yesterday. It is a tricky one as the face is very angular. I'll take a few photos of mine and the flesh mixes that go with it, it might help with your midtones.

Andrew.

I have a bottle of Vallejo basic flesh, and the ivory and mixed from there, Carl. I managed to correct it a bit...he was looking too orange so I 'pinked' him a bit. I used a pale raw umber mix for shadows because he's so grungy looking.
Thank you, Andrew. I've already stripped him once before, so if I need to do so again, I will

Hi Mary,
Although I dont use acrylics for flesh I think the trick for you would be to have a round palette. Have the base coat in one bit then add you highlights one way and the shadows another so you have all the tones. This way, you can "overlap" the tones to blend them. Just the same as the clothing.

Also it looks like your using true black for the cloth. Add a wee bit purple, blue or flesh colour to the black so you can use true black for the deepest shadows. This gives the figure a bit more depth.

The eyes look maybe a wee bit too big. Have you looked at Mark Bennetes' excellent tutorial in the articles sections on how to paint eyes?

Keep going, your work rate is admirable.
Gells.
