The Desert Fox complete

I think it looks brilliant Lee, looks really good-as mentioned maybe some very light highlights but that's it, too much would spoil this figure.

Thanks everyone for your kind words.Paul, I appreciate your comments, and your "picking" :P , in my defence, the lighting is pants which in turn has made it lose a lot of detail, when I get 5 I'll take another couple of pics, thanks mate.

Try a smaller light source (the ultimate being a single flash without a diffuser) to crisp up the detail. A reflector on the opposite side would be good.

Thanks people.

Steve, thanks for the tip but I'm using my trusty Galaxy S4...come to think about it...I don't think we even own a camera!? ops:

Hi Lee please dont think I was picking you're figure apart for the sake of it.

Contrary to whats been said shading and highlighting are an extremely important part of figure painting. They allow the details to show and bring out depth aswell. It also brings out the character of the face.

There are many helpful guides to face painting and some are easier than others, it's just a case of practice and trial and error.

Hi Paul,

I appreciate all comments good or bad, all advice is taken on board as well. I personally think that everyone has their own view on how much shading is realistic or cartoonish, I must admit, I have look at Rommel a few times and thought, shall I shade the face a bit more or leave it?...left at the mo because I can't decideo_O

Top job Lee great figure well done really like it

[Guest]

You've done a great job there Lee! Figures, even the larger one's are the hardest to get right IMHO, probably coz we see people every day - it's not like we're bumping into Panthers & Shermans all the time!

I'd leave it as is for 2 simple reasons :

First, it looks great already & second, more work increases the risk of messing it up

Cheers

I'm very new to painting I've only been doing it a few weeks, it amazes me how much detail you manage to paint on this figure! Absolutely amazing lovely job!

I have to say Lee you really have got this off to a tee
The jacket has got that look that it is real fabric to my eyes
I tried this Rommel fig but nothing in comparison to your exquisite painting skills
Really well done
