step3

ok so here ive started to introduce raw umber into the mix. i like to establish my lights and darks first then i worry about mid tones later so that the image comes to life immediately.ive started to develope some of the stiches and dropped in the top of the hair you can see how just a little bit of contrast already seems to pull it toghether and im still making suttle changes as i go .i also use the raw umber in different strengths by shading with it lighter over some areas and then getting in there close to get the darker hue in other spots.you can shade and line all at the same time with airbrush thats why your able to move so quickly with it .its all about control
