A Steampunk Challenge
Lenses and hair
So I spent some time working on the lenses for the goggle and the hair.
For the strap of the goggles I used the same colours as for the light leather. The lenses are so small and the guide is so detailed that I skipped a few steps as I can’t get on with trying to look at what I’m doing through a magnifying glass. So I took the lenses back to a primer, in this case GW Wraith Bone (I have the pot as well as the rattle can). I then painted the over this with Vallejo Ultramarine Blue all over. I tried to put a line of this same blue with a slight mix of white to lighten it at the bottom, before putting a dot of white at the top.
Her hair was based with AP Necromancer Cloak, which is a dark grey. I then washed it with AP Dark Tone. I then went in with Vallejo German Grey (even darker and nearly black) to pick out more of the shaded points and then used the edge of my brush to bring the highlights in from Necromancer Cloak, through to Uniform Grey.
