100% in agreement, though.
Bloody lovely!

I have to ask, did you paint by eye or did you sketch it out on a pencil or lightly with a paint brush first?

[fairoaks024]

hi Styx,

i paint it on with slightly thinned black paint, just starting with a simple black 'v' in the middle, then it's really just a series of thin straight lines and a beak.

once the design looks right it gets a second coat to darken it up. any mistakes are then overpainted in white to tidy them up.

hope that helps

It does, I am slowly trying to overtake my fear of freehand work!

Painting eyes is my biggest trouble. Most of my models don't have pupils... :S

I usually do a fair job, then some turn out like Jap Anime characters with large round eyes and huge pupils!

If you want to make eyes easily, try using a Micron pen to put the pupils in instead of a brush.  Much easier!

Good suggestion. I'll give it a try next time!

I keep hearing this idea but I never get over to the pens to buy them at the hobby store....I hear a .05 or something is good...

That is one great paint job.
