Hey! Back for more, huh? Okay, let's tackle her boots and trendy cut off gloves ;) Base coat above, more after the break...
Let's start with the shading. A thinned wash, 1:1 mix of the colors below.
Highlight up starting with the base color.
Next a thinned 2:1 mix of the colors below.
And the final highlight on the boots and gloves is a 1:1 mix of the same colors.
Next up is her shirt. Base coat.
Shade with a thinned mix of the colors below, 3:1 ratio.
Highlight back up with base color.
Final highlight 1:1 mix of the colors below.
Her tights are next. This is where the wet blending comes back. Base coat 1:1.
Shade with a thin wash of the next colors 2:1:1
Now start to bring it back up with the base mix
Now add some saturation with just a thinned layer of this color.
Now the legs and the torso start to get a bit of a different treatment due to the colors under them. The torso has a white shirt and the lower part has flesh. Still similar colors. So the legs get a 1:1 mix of these colors.
And the torso gets a 1:1 mix of these colors.
Everything gets one last highlight of the colors below in a 1:1 mix.
Last item for this post: The scarf (and belts & holsters). Base coat.
Now shade with a wash of these colors 1:1.
Bring your mid tones back with the base color.
And one final highlight with a 1:1 mix of these.
Wow! Almost done o_O I think you'll like what I do when I get her on the base, but we have a few things to finish up before that.
Oh, and look what arrived from The NOVA Open Charitable Foundation while I was working away on another project you'll see later on the blog...
I gave 'em a quick wash and then got ready to tuck in with the prep...
More on that later ;)
