Whew, still a struggle to get up into the studio. On top of that, the new AC isn't as effect as my old one. Despite it being on nearly all the time, some days it's just too hot to stay up there. My next place will be better suited for year round model building.
Anyway, the first thing was to get to James' face and I filled in the basics. Having filled the face in an adding a little shading. I didn't like it.
I remember back to watching all those Rafael Robledo Jr. videos where he speckled a number of colors on his faces before hitting it with the flesh. Now he used a Filbert brush to throw the speckles. He was able to get really tiny ones. I couldn't get them small enough. I realized that if I dropped the air pressure of the a/b to nearly zero, I could get speckles. So I speckled away, with a little Silly Putty to preserve the dark hair.
The with a little flesh color I got the uneven skin look I was after. I've also been watching a ton of videos where glazes is used instead of washes, but that'll be for next time.
Thanks for looking.
