[Alan 45]

Cheers terry glad to have you on board


I've now coloured the eyes in and put a wash on the mustashmustash and eyebrows and I will leave to dry and make up a flesh colour to do a dry brush of his cheeks and nose [ATTACH]102535.IPB[/ATTACH]

is it just me or are those eyes wonky ?

[Guest]

It would appear that way

[john i am]

I think that's just an expression

[Alan 45]

Now this isn't perfect but I'm leaving the eyes as they are now as I think this is best I'm going to get and I have other figures to practice on [ATTACH]102540.IPB[/ATTACH]

sorry im in late on this one Alan,


and must say how nice of Si,to give him to you,your a sweet man lov you


very nice start,have read all the above and need a nap


Johns advice is very good and i would of said some think much alike,with doing the eyes,


i tend to use an off white,with just the hint of a lite gray,


as said about the left eye,you know i have been finding the same very think with all i have done it dose seam a little wonky looking,


and i don,t understand why its that way, as maybe there ment to be angled more to the right,to hide that floor with them,


as it seams to me as the eye lid drops down more to leave the left eye some what smaller,

This is coming together really well Alan............ I wish I had the confidence to do one of these. But I know I'd make a hash of it. You guys (and girls Monica) that can do these things have my admiration.
