Autumn Bronzeleaf as a drow.

Love the highlights on the back of her dress. Nice job on her face, too. Welcome to the forums!

Thank you! And I am happy to be onboard the forums. I am new to painting but skilling up.

You're new to painting?! 

 

If so, that's just crazy. Are you aware that red is one of the most difficult colors to tackle when painting minis? Some painters struggle for years trying to make it look nice. Yours not only looks excellent, you even gave the dress fabric a completely different reflective effect from her skin. Not a lot of new painters doing that. Mad props!

Strong combo on this one!

Very good!

As of this post I've been painting for 4 months. I watch and read a lot of tutorials about different techniques, then give them a shot. For red, I've learned to avoid mixing in white (which makes pink), but instead start with a dull, dark red, and highlight up to a more brilliant, bright red. My camera doesn't really show that transition well here.

 

Thank you for the kind comments.

Very nice painting, and welcome to the forum!

 

Very cool idea making her a Drow elf; it works very well.
