Hey Mayhem,

Its looking good bra, Question (as it is hard to tell on the monitor), are you going at it with straight black and white, or are you tinting. I find if I mix my darker shades out of greys and browns and maybe a slight touch of black in this case and maybe tint my skin tones the same way lightening with tinting white it is easier to blend and therefore makes anything such as the whites of the eyes, teeth and or light relections with straight white stand out more, and can give you more tonal range on the skin. For straight black and white,(and I am far from getting this down), I think you need more suggestion and less actual paint deffinition.


peace
Eric
