Thread: First stab at this

    Default First stab at this

    Im new to all of this and had a lot of fun doing this guy. Was hoping you all would be able to tell me what I need to work on to get better or what you would have done differently. I have neither the knowledge or the ambition required to fashion a noose out of my airbrush hose so dont worry about hurt feelings~

    Can't nit pick too much. Paintwork looks very smooth and you chose perfect color tones. The lines are all crisp.

    So not a nitpick, but rather a perspective. For my eye, it looks too "plain" (plane, lol). If there was panel lining, or some post shading it would add so much depth to it.

    Believe me, there's really not a lot to critique negatively. I think it can however, be brought up to the next level!

    Great job, big thumbs up from me!

    Good work buddy, and i second Hank. All it need is for the colours to be brought out some more with some lining and washes and maybe pick out the raised areas and edges with some subtle highlighting!

    Very cool colors. Like the others have said, it needs the finer details. Unfortunately, when an area is all the same color, little details get lost. Our eyes just cant make them out when they're all the same shade.

    What kid of paints did you use?

    I used all House of Kolor paints on him. The silver is fine orion silver, the red is a few coats of kandy brandywine over the orion silver. The blue is fine lapis blue. I was thinking about putting some sort of sealer or clear coat on it and learning how to do panel lining. But wasnt sure what i could use over that paint. Any ideas?

    Well, as HoK is a Urethane paint, you can use whatever clear coat you want really, but I would stick with either the clear that Captain cosmic suggested, or one from HoK itself.

    As for critique, Im with everyone else, it just needs a little love in the panel lining... Other than that the colors are HOT and well applied. Nice work man!
