So I tried this. Red brown as a base coat. Then I added a bit of basic skin tone and dry brushed it on. Then a bit more skin tone to the mix and dry brushed that and so on building up the flesh colour.  Then I touched it up with a brush, did the hair and eyes and…  What does the panel think? It is not as clean close up as I would have liked, but it will do for now. |

Thanks Paul. Used red brown and this time I gradually added sunny skin tone to build up the highlights.  |

Much better with the softer shading on the chin.

I agree with the panel, Tommy! Nice job with working out those highlights and I think he looks excellent, so far.

Well, this GSW stand is stable, but a bit too heavy to hold in the hand.  I think the original idea is to have it fixed in place by screwing the base to a table. Screws are included for that purpose. I might try and remove the clamp from the base so it is easier to hold in the hand and suit my way of painting. |

That looks like a rather posh piece of kit Tommy |
