Here we go again, maybe. After doing the big 1/16 guy and a few night shifts later. Black primer then white from above. A couple of coats of very thin base colour. The darkest you got. This is brown rose. ![](https://i.ibb.co/rxmv2HN/0-CFA4-C5-B-0-D0-C-492-A-A0-C3-C9-FAED268-DB4.jpg) Mix your base colour with a very dark colour to make the shadows. So brown rose with some slate grey and paint the shadows. Do not worry about precision. ![](https://i.ibb.co/nR0BvP2/31-F6567-C-1943-4-F8-A-BE02-FE9-DADF0-C0-E7.jpg) Back to your base colour and just tidy the face up. ![](https://i.ibb.co/Hqr2tSg/8-A2-D355-B-7-A0-A-477-A-8-AC5-2-AC918802-E45.jpg) More to come. I have broken the golden rule and done some modeling with a couple of rathe nice Sauvignon Blanc inside of me.!!!!

Thanks bwilt. Well, I think the trick worked. See for yourself. ![](https://i.ibb.co/WDVMmpF/0954-B553-2460-4159-81-DE-1-F082-D5-A951-F.jpg) With the shadows done first, it is so much easier to do the highlights. I think the humidity also helped. Drying time was a lot slower so I had more time to blend.

Here is my latest on a 1/16. Step 1 base colour rose brown ![](https://i.ibb.co/CvChWbH/8007343-D-DBB2-4042-86-F4-EFFFFDBCA7-C8.jpg) Step 2 shadow base colour + slate grey ![](https://i.ibb.co/3z3Tprx/29373-E79-D635-478-E-908-D-5-A6-CE9204-CF7.jpg) Step 3. Eyes ![](https://i.ibb.co/LxLW4SY/A2-B7598-C-25-D4-4137-9335-34-C25-A6-A1677.jpg) Step 4 tidy up with base colour ![](https://i.ibb.co/g7zFr4Y/E3-F738-EB-DE16-465-F-8618-54-D2971-A1-C14.jpg) Step 5 highlights sunny skin tone ![](https://i.ibb.co/wwzWD0D/E0-FA7-C9-F-8976-4-CFA-9584-04-CA3785-DA21.jpg) Step 6 blending with base colour and highlight colour ![](https://i.ibb.co/KVprWwX/B90-C6581-9876-429-E-8-F1-E-CE01-AADDB16-A.jpg) That’s it so far.

For the eyes
Off white, then light grey brown for the iris.
Light green blue for flecks of colour..
Slate grey for the pupil. I used a very fine brush which came with a figure painting brush set. Never thought I’d use it.

Speaking of eyes. ![](https://i.ibb.co/tsnm1dJ/CFE7-D4-A9-25-D9-4-A53-8258-05-F929-E21-C7-A.jpg) Six pairs of eye decals. Are they that difficult to use?
