Maybe try to paint the eyes before the skin as it makes it easier to correct any mistakes. Or simply don't paint them. I 've painted eyes for a long while but recently came to the conclusion it's not worth the effort.Moiterei_1984https://www.blogger.com/profile/13808567081733803572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-41734659767676493372014-12-08T15:25:40.713-06:002014-12-08T15:25:40.713-06:00Nice work Adam and a great back story.Nice work Adam and a great back story.Millsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580692168847505881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-4840285293792892332014-12-08T15:22:11.097-06:002014-12-08T15:22:11.097-06:00Nicely done.

(About 2 miles of thread in a cloak that size so you can see why they were left in wills) You have created a back story for the figure just with the colours you use. And It has put a smile on my face.

So while this isn't exactly new ground its not something I have as much practice with as other things. at the risk of opening flood gates I would be happy to hear tips and tricks on eyes. <br /><br />As the hair it does look a bit flat... it might benefit form some more wash and a little more dry-brushing...<br />AdamC1776https://www.blogger.com/profile/02279351293614637287noreply@blogger.com
