I really like the work you have done on the eyes there Steve mate, to me there are always one of the most difficult things to paint and get right, 

[Steve Brodie]

Spent a nice relaxing hour or so weathering up the bush hat last night, wet on wet washes to get variations in the tones on the hat, not forgetting the underneath. Started with dark tones around the base and above and below the cheetah band, then added a lighter tone and mixed this in dragging away from the dark tone. Repeated process with mid tones, until the lightest wash was added to the middle areas, edges of the brim and the peak of the hat, just needs a couple of coats of matt varnish, then a couple of drops of either fuel spills or engine grime to replicate sweat and muck.

nice work on the hat so far,do like the band,

Highlight and shadow washes added to the shirt;
