Well after done most of the face and the green leather, i decide to do the robe.
I choose red for this because several reasons. I want some autumn atmosphere, and this colour is very predominance on this season.
And if you are paying attention, you can see that the shadows of green are red, and the shadows of red are green. That make a whole atmospheric composition.

Here i do a bossage in the leather. just with a light colour, and do some shadows on specific areas (witch are marked by light) with a dark colour.
The trick i use to do red, is put as base colour, the red i want for the maximun light and from there, getting darker.
This way, you´ll never have pinks or oranges in the red.
Now i´ll do some nmm in the diadem and the medallion.
i use for the base colour this ocre, and for shadows, the fantastics andrea inks. For highlights, i mixed the ocre with white.
If you wanna some more advices until now, please leave me in the comments.
Well, sorry for the delay, the light in my town is not very good these days so I had to wait.
This is the work until now, more retouch on every parts...
now i´ll do the eyes, the gemstone (lapislazuli i choose), and the owl.
The gold spots are with non metalics. Later i´ll put gloss varnish on the gemstone.
This is the owl viewed from below. i want blue tones, because the top going to have yellow tones.
I forgot to take pictures of the top, so this is the whole wip, failing of final pictures.
Hope you like it , i hope your comments and tips.

i do the usual steps on the gemstone, first base color followed by the lights and shadows, all blues as you can see.
After do this, i do the white marks with some grey blue very similar to white.

I want a special feeling on the glance. Mix of melancholy, sadness and strength.
I choose blue to complement the gemstone, and to have a hard contrast on the face.I forgot to take pictures of the top, so this is the whole wip, failing of final pictures.
Hope you like it , i hope your comments and tips.
inspiring to look at. thanks for sharing.

This time I don´t have pictures of the entire process, I hope it will help anyway...
As I always do, I prime in two colours, black for the entire figure and white for the lights.
This step will help a lot in the futures steps.
I want to do a very irish man, so I use reds and pinks for teh skin, and desaturated a lot the lights.
After the general tone, I put some blue and green in the shadows, because the cold environment of Ireland. Also paint the redhair.
Here are some pictures of the colours I use, first picture for the skin, and the second one for the redhair.
I do the entire shield (include weathering), the brooch, and the cotton cloak.
Picture of the mix for the cloack.
Hope you like the progress of my work, and see you in the next entry!

Weathering is a lot of fun job.
