Hi there!

I have 2 weeks off of school and work. So my plans include playing with the cutest baby ever and painting!

I started on this guy yesterday, he’s the reason my hand was airbrushed. I was not up to painting that basecoat with my brushes. Lol

so, red liner for our first base coat. Then I started thinking about how I wanted him painted. Obviously, purple and yellow are the classic colors. I knew I wanted to do some slight variation. So, I decided to go with a purple that was a little variegated.

Basecoat.

Nightmare black, then half and half nightmare black and gem purple, then gem purple, then amethyst purple. I’ll do some more work and blending and patterning, obviously.

Then I decided how I would be different. One of my favorite transitions to do is purple to teal. It’s just something I fell in love with after one of Michael proctor’s kick ass colors classes.

First pass.

Second layer of glazing with some shading.

Current situation. I realized I had just been doing my highlights where I wanted, instead of where they would be. Rookie mistake. So I added the head, and I’ll bring it up some more and do some more shading!

I love him! Let me know what you think!
