Thanks Monica. I like to paint a bit and then go back to it at a later stage. It always looks different when the paint has had time to go off. You can then add to or remove shading and highlights until your happy with it.

looking good there Paul, very nice start
maybe this is a good time to get some tips on painting black from you :rolleyes:
I have notice that you use black as well as a dark gray, to show high lite and low lite, the gray beening the high points ?
this is from were any tips would be useful for me to blend it all together and shown as a high spot dose that make sense ?

Hi Monica, i think black is one of the hardest colours to do, too much grey and it washes the black out, not enough and you dont get the effect. when i mix my pallet for any colour i put the lightest colour and the darkest colour next to each other and then mix them to gether forming various shades so that i can work the colour quickly. You have to imagine that the light is coming from directly overhead so if you get a crease right at the top would be lighter than the bottom, and anything underneath would be even darker. So from top to bottom, light to dark and the shades in between. For this black i mixed a bit of blue with the black for the base coat i could then use straight black for the deepest shadows
Heres a few pics of the finished rear right half
As you can see the very top of each muscle is the lightest shade and the bottom is black. Hope this helps

hi Paul, thank you that is a big help as i was thinking to use a dark gray with a dark blue so it did to some what give the effect, your saying , but that way is quite easy to follow
as i tend to use a off black or flat black/gray in a mat, in the low spots, and a semi glass dark blue back on the higher points
as that last pic of his rump shows what you are saying very cleanly, :rolleyes:

Thank you very much for the info Paul!
Will search an "old" figure or similar to try it :oops: if I obtain the "half" result as yours will be a happy man :rolleyes:
Can I ask...Do you dilute very much the painting? Is like the consistency to use on an airbrush or similar?
Thanks again for showing this amazing step by step build Paul, and respond always all the questions... :eek:
