Lukas-L Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hey everyone ! At the moment I am working on the Buccaneer 1650´s from Andrea and decided to do a little Step by Step . Before i started to paint i removfed all mold lines and pinned his feet. I glued him on his base so i can move him around while painting. For priming i started with black primer and then just a thin layer of white ( spray, of course ). This gives my colors a better grip. I can equally paint bright and dark colors, without it looking stupid. Heres the first picture: Trousers: The main color is beasty brown. I did some highlights with snakebite leather and bleached bone and the shadows are made in charred brown and black. Shirt: I wanted it to look really old. Main color was bleached bone with some first shades in terra earth. I just painted some other parts in their main color, so i have a better impression on how he will look like later on. It also helps me on deciding on the other colors and shadow-tones. Next picture: I continued to paint the shirt using a mixture of blue ( intense blue i think ) and black. I used very thinned down color. The reason i did this was to build a nice contrast to the warm trousers. Here is a picture of my palette while working with it: Maybe this helps you You can see that i always have color that is dilluted and pure, so i can choose from whatever i need. That are also all colors i used in the next Step. I wanted to have darker shadows on the shirt and also improved the blendings. The Shadows are a mixture of scorched brown and dark prusia blue. So basically i have used: Bleached Bone --> Highlights Terra Earth --> Middletone ( areas aren´t in direct light ) Scorched Brown and bluetones ( Shadow areas ) I also outlined a bit to define the whole miniature. My outline-color was a mix of black, blue and brown. As you can see I also did paint the sash. It is not finished, though. Colors were Blood Red and Black. I hope you like it and that this helps you Lukas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
