Stage 11 and a half



Okay, so after I got out of that coma, I fixed the face a bit by adding a bit more Ivory to the edges. I also reworked one of the eyes, though it still looks the same when I photograph it.. Anyways, I like to practice my freehand before I do it, so I knew I had to put a Fleur De Lis on something, so I'm thinking of putting a Renaissane-y patter around it, but you can see on this index card how I progress, even after attempting it for a few minutes. I've found the best way was to make a point of paint, and make a curve from it, then do the inside. I'm thinking of doing it in Orange Ochre and Sunny Skintone to make it gold embossed. I'm either going to go lighter or black wit the freehand on the robe tabard.. it may be too dark already, though.
