Yogie Paints Large Minis and Busts
Day 2 continuing Evelyn
So the next day came and I decided to really try and smooth out the blends, build in the shadows and try and make everything as smooth and realistic as possible. Again I was just concentrating on the chest, collarbone and neck area. The face was still going to be a problem later.
I cant tell you how long this took but it take a while with plenty of gkazes going both ways. For those that have never glazed before it usually takes around 5 -10 glazes before you can actually see a difference. A hair dryer is essential to quickly dry each glaze so you can lay the next one down.
I was finally done.
I asked my painting mates for some feedback and I was provided with two very good tips.
When assessing contrast it is important to note the surrounding areas and hence after I painted the blouse I may wish to adjust the skin to suit.
Secondly it is always good to take a black and white photo to really assess contrast and make sure the lightest points are in the right spot. This was a great tip as I found a light spot on the model that shouldn’t have been there and I was then able to fix it.
Really nice stuff going on here @yogiebear.
I too am a fan of these bigger scale projects. They sure are a different kind of beast to tackle and you are doing a fine job. Keep it up.
Following with atention. 🙂
