Brisket Bust by Broken Toad: Lawnor's first ever bust (& a cheeky attempt at winning the Spring Cleaning comp)
Finishing the skin and the face
Thhe eyes were blocked out blaock, then painted over with the final off-white highlight, leaving just the thinest edge black. The pupil and iris were painted black and then the iris was painted off white. I picked VMC 70.857 Golden Olive for the eye color and painted the iris. I mixed a little royal red (Not sure which colour. it was already on my palette) in to the green for the shade, and a little white for the highlight. Everything was painted as per the video, just more clumsily. One thing I'm learning is that photos are a great way to catch the mistakes you can't notice with the naked eye
I've followed the video up to the end of the flesh, just before it gets to hair. If I do this again I hope I remember to paint the eyebrows before the eye shadow as its easier to fix things that way around. I'm off to make a glaze out of the first highlight to try and fix some of the blotchiness, but maybe end up ruining her.
Here is all the paints I have used in these steps
Glaze applied over the blotchy body highlights. She's looking better
