Painting of military figures
Posted by morto on Monday, July 16, 2007 11:31 PM
Should military figures be finished in gloss or flat?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

Depends on what they're wearing.  Cloth doesn't reflect much, so it should be flat.  Leather, such as on dress boots or belts is shiny, so it should be glossy.  Flesh should usually be flat, although I suppose you could be portraying someone who is sweaty or simply wet, in which case gloss might be more appropriate.

I kind of guessed that would be the way to go.  Many thanks
