Wow that is the dogs dangly bits really, the bearskin got my first look and love the shading in three and the highlighting. Facial painting is never my best but you have shown such lifelike skill. I like this very much and it shows I have a long way to be as perfect as your skills.


Well done indeed ( something to be proud of


Regards

Thank you so much Monica,always happy to read your comments.


However personally I feel I could have done the red so much better.:eek:

 

[monica]

red is a bit of a tricky one as you know,to get the highlights,


and your done so well,but its just that feeling of if,I did this


it would be better, that's what makes the next one even better ,

I thought it was superb, but have no experience of figures at all. Lovely to see tho. Congratulations.
