Painting 3

I added some moles and freckles by flicking colour on (so the placement was completely random). I then realised it would be better to add these after I'd applied the main skin pattern. I'd laser cut some airbrush stencils out to use and tried one out on the back of my faun man bust - then on some tests I did on my styrene work surface I outlined the shapes which I quite liked... I based the skin pattern on a mix between real animals, old colour tests on the maquette and a certain brush on Photoshop that created a random splattered pattern... (see colour test in previous post).



 I'll carry on with his tomorrow and move the pattern round the head, arms and legs... Also once another colour and freckles are added etc the pattern won't look so 'painted on'.
