Using these as the reference photos, lets hope we an achieve what I set out to do..... and the progress report shows.....ALAS!!!!! ET TU BRUTE!!!!!The Lexar super expensive Compact Flash card tanked and I lost 2 days of work progress on Yul Bryner while trying to load it up....so, we missed the highlights, shadows, deep shadows and high highlights and toning.
Well, this is the result of the final toning over the pinkish vermillion with light flesh shades on the cheeks.
What is left is the neck portion to be done and the flesh colour section for the face would have been completed.
I drew in the eyebrows as the late Yul Bryner has profound ones like Angelina Jolie or Sean Connery. It was done with Red Brown, black and the base tone mix of the flesh and the excess over runs are cut back with 5 layers of watered down basic skin tone glazes. I filled in the eye whites, it now awaits the pupils and the red and black washes for the innards and the eye lashes. Here are two pictures taken the same, but different exposures to check out the tones.
