Pirate Figure in progress (side by side)

The sash and the trousers have been painted in this photo. The paint used for the trousers also dried very glossy. I decided to apply my dullcoat a bit early since I was going to photograph this figure for the purpose of these updates. The photo shows a side by side comparison between the glossy (left) figure and the figure with the dullcoat (right) applied. There is a big difference in the two. It's much easier to see where the highlights and shadows are in the dullcoated figure. The sash was painted with Winsor Newton Basic Red. Highlighted with Cadmium Red and top HL's with Cadmium Scarlet. The trousers were painted with Winsor Newton Venetian Red shaded with Burnt Umber and highlighted with Naples Yellow. The bright lights washed out some of the contrast in the sash and trousers.
