Step 13

Step 13
I want to let the wings dry, so after I take a break, it's onto the figure. Using warm colors, I block in the basic skin tones. I like to use a variety of colors in skin tones...including BLUES! Yes, there are actually blues (and greens and purples, etc.) in skin tones!

Step 14
It's the same deal for the hair. Obviously, I am using a smaller bristle brush, now. But I am not trying for any real detail yet. I like to mix in some darker cool colors where shadows will be.

Step 15

Step 15
I use a bunch of different brushes and knives and stuff to apply the paint. And I like the paper palettes for mixing colors on. By the way, since I am right-handed, I keep all of this junk to the right of the drawing table!

Step 16
Here is the figure all roughed in.

And here is a close up of the roughed-in face. Looks kinda creepy at this stage!


Step 18
I start the finishing of the figure with Azziza's lovely face. Using small brushes and patience, the details start to take on a bit more realism. I keep the reference photos close at hand for this.

Step 19
Slowly, carefully I try to smooth out the blending on the rest of the figure. Gradually working from the darker areas to the light, adding a bit more detail, as I go. I use a combination of working with mostly-dry brushes and glazing with thinned-down washes for this.
