Nice, Mirof! Is that a 54mm, or is that one of the larger-scale figures? The detail is very good, and I like how your work on the lace came out, particularly.
Prost!

No this one is a 80mm
About painting a face,
my way of doing it :
paint face ( and hands ) with Humbrol flesh color
let it dry
put on the face, oil paint ( mine is Winsor and Newton ) Sienna
wipe with a sponge, all proeminent parts are automaticaly of a ligher shade and all recesses are very well define
put white ( humbrol in the eyes sockets
turn the figurines upside down, and with a pen and China ink ( sepia) , do the under part of the uppereyelid, then with brown or sepia or darkblue or darkgreen .... China ink, do the iris ( a part of it is invisible under he upperlid) then a small round pupill ( black ink )
then begin to had some umber in the recesses and brushe with a clean ( and dry ) brush, again wih a second clean brush, again with a third clean brush
do the same for the proeminent part adding a micro quantity of white, brush, clean, brush, clean .....
on a sheet of paper some umber + a tiny amount of red and a tiny amount of white, do the lips
The result is a guy who lives outside, and taned by the years
try do decenter the eyes, or the result is a guy with strabism, make him look slightly left or right
Will send you a private message, we need people like yourself to help out.
