~BoB~ Hey thanks my friend--& I wish you the best with that!
~Work's begun to leatherize the coats~
Again, not a real SBS here but showing a few steps--I began with a heavy over-all wash of Vallejo 867 Dark BlueGrey just to show-up the folds clearly & afterward painted in the darkest shadows with 950 Black with a bit of of 927 Dark Flesh
Not too concerned about complete coverage--you can still see the overspray areas from the flesh areas I'd airbrushed in
The next step was an over-all brown glaze made of 596 glaze Medium, Matt Varnish, and a few drops of what else? 871 Leather Brown
Here's where I stopped treating both coats the same--I actually want a darker effect to the longer coat, so here on I've concentrated efforts on the other, again using Black lightened with dark Flesh, but switching to 845 Sunny Skintone for the lighter colours.
I think it's started looking a little leathery on the left, no? No bright highlights yet, but before I'm done I'll do some burnishing to get a satin effect if posssible
I replaced the heads temporarily to have a looky
I did make an attempt to employ a bit more facial highlght but I don't claim them finished there.
Ok, a little progress, I'm liking hat used look to his coat so far, plenty more to do and his buddy gets the blacker looking model.
What color do you suppose the jacket is on the fellow below?
