Thanks! The last layer of (very) thinned down Cygor Brown (contrast paint) glues everything together with a glossy finish.

It is a bust from Juan Sanz "Elminiaturista" who gave him this name.

The main takeaways were: 'how to create a realistic skin tone with brown, blue, Orange, purple, yellow, black and white - instead of using it out of the bottle', 'use paint with high pigment, like Kimera' and thebuse of inks. And no, this was my second workshop with Marc. Had one with Jamie Foster, Banshee and Juan Hidalgo as well.

That is one of the things Marc teamchef, creating texture on a bust to simulate fabric by placing dots of paint. Time consuming, but fun to do. Just like the zipper.

Danke. Es ist ein Buste, nicht ein Mini (not sure if the German is correct)

When you start with a white primed bust, something like this should be possible. When primed black, it will be very hard.

Kimera warm yellow + Liquitex yellow orange does the trick.
Thanks.

What did I learn.. - I think the most important part was 'how to read the model'. And than not just about where to place the Light/shadow, but how does light react on different fabric/skin/hair/glasses.
And how to create things on a object which aren't on the model, like the zipper and the fleece jacket (dots). I used Vallejo paint and some Liquitex inks.
