I like the way it adds depth and change in the tone without the hard contrasts of layers...it has a nice blended feel to it.Dungeon Dwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09828957552412098959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808661699317476250.post-60875260805951982252011-12-17T14:29:58.806-08:002011-12-17T14:29:58.806-08:00I also tend to rely on building up with lighter la...I also tend to rely on building up with lighter layers. Partly because the paints these days have such strong pigments and are saturated already you can achieve a real richness and depth to the color just with layering.<br /><br />I've gone back to glazes more recently, though, as I think you can still get richer, more complex colors with them. I see the glaze as being like a saturation layer in photoshop. I tend to mix a small fraction of a drop of ink with mostly matte medium and brush it on such that layer dries almost instantly. This way I can see as I go and add more richness to the areas that need it. In this case all the flesh got at least a one layer of glaze but then more in the shaded areas.Spooktalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436639944558607691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808661699317476250.post-61172231950317742912011-12-15T13:15:27.184-08:002011-12-15T13:15:27.184-08:00When you glazed the giant's flesh, did you do ...When you glazed the giant's flesh, did you do apply the glaze to all of the flesh or just the shaded areas? I'm unfamiliar with this excellent technique, being an obessive layerer of highlights.Dungeon Dwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09828957552412098959noreply@blogger.com
