Thanks Romel, that’s great.  I’ll be tightening it up this week so will build these in.  Here’s the photo I took last month I used to work from.

Hi Jo! I here you, the failures are right in front of you, but take the wins on the good bits too! Here’s to getting better with each attempt!

Hi Yuriko, new here too. Your manga so far looks great!

I appreciate this is thread necromancy, but the original is one of my favourite Rembrandts.  Emmanuel gave some great advice. One of the things Rembrandt did exceptionally well was texture. The final layers were thick and almost crusty in points, so think about fat over lean, and don’t be afraid to build up layers. There are some great books like “Traditional Oil Pinting: Advanced techniques and concepts from the renaissance to the present’ by Virgil Elliot which are invaluable to understanding classical painting techniques, palletes and tricks.

Suprised you haven’t had any feedback Cecelia, it looks great!

Thanks wolf cub, that’s great advice and that’s exactly what I did last night. Hopefully they can shed some light on them.
