I also really should have gone colour-against-opposite on each of the side transitions, but if you think I’m going back to correct that now…
Did I choose a sane, easily-accessible area in which to attempt the obligatory checkerboard pattern? No.
But will I at least finally learn from this experience? Also no.
First ‘contrast’ pass, what do we reckon? Better? Worse? Legally indistinguishable?
I think one of my problems is that I’ve pushed the skin so bright in the highlight (no regrets).
Two painting sessions in a single day, purely to appease @erikcats ‘s relentless whip-cracking! My knees won’t last. My ‘painting knees’*
I have though, quite literally, turned a corner.
*What?
At some point I’m going to have to actually paint the front of this thing…
A few more tippy-taps at lunch and I think we’ve veered into Accidental Hulk territory.
Absurdly small forward steps, but this is now a full-on hobby streak: two consecutive human calendar days of tiny, tentative brush-pokery.
Trying to bring back a little saturation while keeping the contrast by applying yellow and purple glazes.
It is, of course, essential to choose the mini with the greatest number of back lumps when practicing skin.
