Pete Fleischmann Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Hey all- working on my figure chops- assembled and primed then black and white then get busy. All Vallejo paints. Not done yet, but getting there- If she looks good enough when done, there’s a bellied-in YAK in her future- cheers Pete D.B.

LSP_K2 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Figure looks great so far. I too tend to store model master paints upside down at times, as it helps to not have all the goo settled on the bottom. Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) Really nice job Pete. I'm wincing (pun intended) a little at the eyes though. I'll give you my impression then do with it as you see fit . In 1/32, the whites of the eyes are really not that noticeable. In my opinion, the white overpowers the rest of the face. Eyes are so tough to get right. I'm a "self-taught" figure painter that went to the Shepard Paine school of figure painting (via his books) so I may be a little biased (and I use oil/enamel paints on my figures). I do think the remainder of the figure is really good with appropriate highlights and shadows where they should be.

I hear ya- but whoever painted the figure for the packaging did the eyes- whites and all- I grew up with Shep Paine too.. and I love and respect him..but there are such better figure painters out there than he was.. so I too am constantly trying to improve my technique, and I welcome any feedback- cheers Pete Juggernut, Rockie Yarwood, chrish and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) You never cease to amaze with your talent. If I thought a blood transfusion would help me out in that respect, I’d siphon some off ya. I’m absolutely horrible with acrylics.

scvrobeson Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Brilliant work Pete. Doing figures is such a different skillset, it sure looks like you've got those skills too. When I did mine, I just used a lightened version of the skintone for the eyes, but your's look great as is. Matt Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
