Hey man. I think this came out phenomenal. The blends are nice and the highlights came out very well. It will be a wonderful gift that will be much appreciated.
As an oiler myself I think you pulled this off nicely. However, you know how touchy oils can be, but they do blend very well. IMHO, placing a varnish on top of the oils should always been done after a few days, once the oils have dried sufficiently. I still use Testors Dull Coat out of a rattle can, have done so for decades with great results. You were able to recover the damage, and that is always a good thing.
Flesh tones look spot on, Stepan, don’t beat yourself up too much, live and learn, and on to the next one!
Haha, I like the term ‘oiler’ I will use that from now on :-)
Yes, you are correct. I definitely should have waited more. My friends showed me a model master flat lacquer, but for some reason, I cannot find it anywhere to buy in the EU (it is probably banned).
Thank you so much for your encouraging words, I am not beating myself up, just trying to be realistic about these things. And you are completely right about learning! Thank you!
Das ist eine sehr realistische und auch anmutige Dastellung und Wiedergabe eines großartigen Menschen ! Dieses Werk ist eine echte Bereicherung und machtv große Freude es anzusehen . Vielen Dank dafür Stepan
I think you achieved the goal, the skin looks realistics to me. Do not worry about the wet oils issue, next time you will create not the same but similar one:) Trust me, I know what I am talking about :) “Gandhi, get on the floor and give me fifty, now!” (Red Dwarf :)
