I would like to thank slender troll on my other wip for the advice of a simple photobackdrop. It along with mastering more of my camera will eventually lead me to better results. Today has been one of those near perfect modeling days. So many triumphs outweighed the few negatives. I have been plugging away at making progress while having fun. I had a few to many eureka moments which also led to a knife accident. The first change of many was to utilize new techniques. The last time I had used a diy water pallet left me unpleased. I tried again with much better results. I boiled the parchment paper first then used wet paper towels instead of a sponge. Doing prep work on the minis led me to correctly use a sharpening stone and then promptly slicing my finger. Not bad. It was sharp. And then instead of using water I used water with a few drops of soap in an empty eye drop bottle. I also prepared the surface in a much thorough manner. For those of you hampered by taking notes in the midst of creating art I recommend using your voice recorder on your phone. Quick simple notes then write them down after the session. Well here is a photo of a csm done in huron blackheart army scheme. Tomorrow I will attempt to finish two bones from prep to finish and have them posted in the show off section. I am quite pleased with the smooth paint job and minimal paint strokes. All I need left are two more lamps for the best photos possible. Gracias t-d
