Superb work, Doug! And also VERY helpful! It certainly takes away some of the mental block I have towards figures
One question, tough.. the blending/highlighting is done applying paints wet-in-wet?
Thanks!

I do a wet on dry blend, but I paint pretty fast so it is probably more like wet on kinda wet, the trick is to work in small areas like one leg or sleeve at a time and keep your mixes simple so you can replicate them, I try not to use more than three colors at a time.

Doug, thanks so much for sharing how you paint figures. This is an area that most of us have difficulty with. I grew up drooling over Shep Paine's dio's and the figures that populated his work. But, mine never really looked even a third as good. After getting back into the swing of modeling I've been experimenting with several processes and I will definitely give yours a go. Thanks again and keep up the great work it's work like yours that make a person like me want to improve to your level.
