Sparrow paints a Bust (Dziewanna)

Started putting on the metallics. Need to do a couple more coats on the armor but pretty happy thus far.

Pretty!  I’m on the fence about her scale mail.  The sculpting, not the painting.  I feel like the scales are too small.  I like the color scheme you picked.  And her hair color and facial features are giving me a Scarlett Johansson vibe.  Eagerly following along with this one.

I started trying to bring out the details on the crown with a wash. I'm not sure yet but I might go back in and paint over the excess wash so it's bright again but that may be more trouble than it's worth. I am having issues getting the wash on the medallions on it on the front and back. I may not be using enough wash on my brush. I'll try again soon. In the meantime I started on the next layer of hair.

How about using an Ink like Scale 75 Inktense Chestnut and use a small tip brush, carefully paint in those lines in the crown?

I've got the AP quick shade inks in the dropper bottles. I might need a smaller brush though. I may also have some liquitex inks. Will have to go searching.

Oops, lol. I realize now that I saved and uploaded the wrong picture. It doesn't look like there is wash on the front because in this photo there is not.

 

This is the right picture.
