Started the serious stuff on space girl, already a couple hours in ( Im a slow painter.) Starting from the inside out, sorted out the little flash of skin, base is corkbrown and beige red (all paints are VGC VMC), shaded with chocolat brown, cavalry brown ( Was on my palette) and darkseablue, mostly, with no real order or mixology. Highlighted with custom warm off-white (White, yellow and fairypowder.). The face and teal tattoo will be subject to further highlight when the surrounding areas are finished.
Went over the yellow with a mix of base color with ochre because the gold yellow was much too strong and also dried glossier than enamel. Then proceeded to shade down the ochre through hot orange, chocolat brown, and darkseablue. Shaded yellow down this path to recall the skin tones because the fabric there looks nylony and stretchy.
It's a bit messy now because, I'm a messy painter and yellow is a messy color ( Even when cheating by doing it more ochre.) Some cleaning up will be in order to redefine the mid-tone before I move on to the next step.
Thanks for watching
