OK Gridiron..2nd try

[Pirate Rick]

here is my second try at the technique..

this time i took your advice and used a flat coat finish on the figure except the helmet. i used a grey paint wash i made for the jersey, and a blue ink for the pants, then highlighted.

Let me know what ya think..
PS:anyone can respond and let me know what ya think..i am trying to get this style down and need the input.

Thanks.. Rick g

When you want to add dark tones on clear jerseys (in the hollows), you can use grey wash, but you can try other colors too.

Example :

light blue on white jersey
red on orange jersey
orange on yellow jersey
etc...

to obtain a smooth finish, try to wash only the hollows, not the edges. You can also add an final highlightning touch on the edges :

white on white jersey
orange on red jersey
yellow on yellow jersey
white on grey jersey

you can notice that the already light jerseys (yellow, white) don't really need highlights : just add a small painting effects on edges with the main color.

you can also add a little black lining (ink or diluted paint) between diferent zones (jersey+pants, jersey+arms, etc...)

you can also take a look on my skin paint tutorial here :

Thanks Dimitri,
I have played around with a blue wash on the white jersey and it does look good, it makes the jersey look almost like a stone wash look and really makes the shades pop out.
This one i used a grey tone wash and i like the subtle tones it gives, i get the shades, but its not over powering.

i will post more pics as i do them... i am trying to do a whole team with these advanced techniques, but so far it has taken me about 5 hrs per figure to complete so at that rate it will take awhile to do a 40 man roster.

after your grey wash, don't forget to add a little touch of white paint on the edges (and large aeras too) of the jersey

I agree with you Marty T......

not bad to start with Rick....after the team is completed, you will have it down pat.
