Thank you, everyone! In fact I think the bust itself lacks some interesting details that attract the attention (maybe some pistols on the belt or something like this would cool), so I decided to concentrate on the face mostly
Superb. The texturing is just awesome. Congratulations, one of the best busts I have seen in a while. And a great idea for the beard. Trim it regularly though!!! ;-p
Thank you, Ernest! Very glad to hear positive feedback from you! I think all this thing with hair imitation could go futher of course, but not everything at once :) I'll try to develop it on next works I think.
Thank you very much Alfonso! I am glad to hear such words from you! May be this original manner to work with light, color and tone comes from some classical techiques of oil paintings. I have not learned much in miniautre painting from some tutorials and so on concentrating mostly on the attemts to find the way to use the things I know from painting in oils in miniature. And it was a long way and it still goes on. I am glad that people like the results. Thank you again.
I just ran across this incredible work Dmity. I really like this bust and the fact that you use oils, me too.
Could you direct me to any teaching references regarding you comment: getting experience in realistic skin with "tiny brushstroke technique".
I am very interested in learning this myself.
Awesome work to say the least!
