fieldarchy Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 I'm still debating whether or not he's done now or needs something else. I'm putting him down for a few days to work on Ramelle so I can better critique him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerridwyn1st Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Meg: I'd suggest mixing brown ink with water and matte medium, then shading the deeper recesses of the bull's scales. It would give him a grittier look and acentuate the highlights. The hooves and horns kind of need something too, but I'd go more for brown/black than black. Maybe mix brown ink and Liner Brown?

fieldarchy Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Mel, What do you mean use brown/black on the hooves and horns? They are metallic silver . . . I want them to be bright, not dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerridwyn1st Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) Yeah, but there's not much definition to the horns; they are too monochromatic. Use a little of the darker wash near the base of the horns and at where the hooves meet the bottom of the leg. Use a bright silver to highlight the tips of the horns and most reflective surfaces of the hooves. You can mix some Pearl White into the silver for the final highlight on the hooves.

fieldarchy Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 I used Polished Silver as the highest highlight. That is pretty much the brightest I can go with that. I'll try a glaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
