Chastity Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Hi all, Haven't been here in a while ... So, my first attempt at NMM was on a cutlass - it was the only "metal" on the mini. I've been wanting to try it again to see if the technique has clicked at all, and I chose a slightly more challenging mini to try it out on. critiques are very welcome ... so far I've "completed" her thigh and knee on one leg, her lower leg is still unfinished. I'd really like to get better at this and I haven't had much luck finding decent tutorials (and I've lost my learn to paint NMM kit instructions ), so I've been working off of pictures that I've found. I'm also currently experimenting with colour for her sleeves - I think I'm going to stick with the aged bone as the base coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol'Timer Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'm really liking where this is going - the eyes and knees really pop for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisler Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I think you are going in the right direction but, you need much higher contrasts than what you have. Deeper shadows, slightly higher highlights. Your placement needs to be more precise on the highlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pae Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Definitely need darker dark areas. But not a bad start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmcl Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Ditto on the shadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chastity Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Cool, thanks guys. I'll try to get them darker and post again once I've worked on it some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
