Bad guys recipe part 2 (for part 1 check older entry)
Then, I painted the red parts using method presented in Giraldez’s firs book. That is: red wash (2 layers), the same with added black-red, and again in deepest shadows this time with addition of a drop of violet ink.
8’00” in total (each).
Waiting for subsequent layers of washes to dry, I did couple of things:
I painted the weapons (rifle and pistol) with base colour of sombre grey. Two layers on each took 2’50”.
Overall glaze of turquoise: 2’30” each.
Painted heads with bone white : 1”30” each.
Blue-violet wash over the weapons 0’20” each
And at this point I had to go to bed…
Next session started with white oil edge-highlight, the greatest time-sink in whole process – 24’00” each.
And from here everything was easy and fast:
Black oil wash (overall) : 0’45”, head details (green lines and violet/pink mouth): 1’10”, varnish 0’45”.
I didn’t paint their headgear – I assumed the wash and some white over-spray on the black were enough.
All in all, they both look rather similar, yet the one started with white took 70,6 minutes and the black 75,5. That being said, total time spent painting those two was somewhere between 3,5- 4h (including beverage, and toilet breaks, mixing paints, waiting for the paint to dry and cleaning airbrush).
The process can be leaned further, and goal time would be around 1h – 1h 5’ per mini, starting from white primer.
Final product.
