I may as well say as I've found a flaw in my plan... It was going to be a rabbit. 'Coneys for Christmas'. But now I've just noticed as the tree is deciduous it'll have no leaves to cover my mediocre sculpting and tree structuring... I'll make it spring instead... easter perhaps...

Your hitting a good standard with this Sid. Great application of the paint scheme.
What screams out to me now is for you to start learning glazing and slowly increasing the colours and contrast.
For example the eye, just beneath it some light glazes of dark brown and red will start to add depth to the face.

Okey dokes I'll attempt a glaze on the next appropriate model :) iirc it's like a thick wash kinda thing right? I honestly can't remember, it's been ages since I did some proper painting.

Thanks Harfoot, it's good to be back although it does seem quite a bit quieter than when I left this place...

Thin paint and have next to nothing on your brush. As you do the stroke you should see the paint dry instantly and just give the slightest chage in colour. Just I crease the number of glazes to make the colour stronger.
Use the side of the brush to push a light colour from dark to light so the paint is pushed to the lightest point.
For dark colours your stroke is from light to dark, pushing the colour I to the darkest area.

Hahah ok Garmy :rofl: will do

@Gandlaf: if the glaze dries almost instantly what's to stop it drying while on the brush?

Ironically it doesn't, you get a bit of life out of the brush. It's probably due to there being more on the brush than you realise.
I can do quiet a few glazing strokes before I need to re load. I haven't actually counted but I would estimate toward 20.

When you're doing glazes do you effectively finish the area with highlights and whatever else is being done first and then do the glazes as a final level of detail to add colour or subtle shadow? Essentially, are glazes a last step thing?

Glazes are another step to create the finish, contrast, whatever you call it. For me they are not a last step. I start glazing when, for example, I have light and dark colours in an area, say a cloak.
Now I will the blend by glazing the mid tones, from dark to light. Once this is done and the blend smooth I will check the contrast. It may be I nor require to push light or dark, even both, so further glazing will push the extremes.
Hope this helps.

You have come a long way since I saw your first models, Sid. You have improved a lot! Well done on Glorfindel!

My PC's been bust for ages but I have a rather exciting (imo) Gandalf conversion to show when its fixed. I think I might even make an article out of it if I have time. I'm not dead, just slow. Very very slow (currently at a painting rate of a model a month)

:)

Eh, cant get the pics to work sorry :/
This thread's becoming a mess...
I'm gonna go back to my other idea which is doing a super big pic-only post much less often...

Till then I guess...
