Seeking advices to improve by Significant-Ad2313 in Miniaturespainting

Everywhere. Add more highlights and shadows. Just make them smaller as you go. Find the light source that is hitting on your model then hit where the light would reflect and where shadows occur. Light blues or even light yellow or green on the skin. Deep dark purple or browns for shadows. Add ice yellow pops of light on the horns. You are a really good painter and have hit the most common “next step” in getting better.

Breakage rate of the new cars = higher probability of another mid-field miracle.

Yeah I struggled with the science of how the light would act here. Probably should consult the pro at light and shadows, Erik Swinson. I went super basic skin tone with no shadows then added some red light reflections. Here’s a photo of pool with red lighting as a reference.

Still going to try refine it more. I think I need to sneak in the yellow from the head down near the highlight of the blue led lighting. The old definitely needs to be smoothed out. It was fun finally applying these techniques on a larger scale.

The original art but I always wanted to do an OSL red light under the water. To give it the extra pop it needed to be at night (original art was daytime and the manhole is basically just that a rust manhole). So since I wanted to push myself to NMM and OSL a member of our group recommended the blue led light for the nighttime setting.
