I think there's plenty of scope left with what you've done so far without starting from scratch. Anyway, washes a far less destructive, you can keep adding to them without obscuring details and ruining the model. I keep thinking of them more like watercolours, despite never getting the hang of watercolours.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1896084525800201942.post-15198313996380606762013-08-12T18:20:21.306-04:002013-08-12T18:20:21.306-04:00I will have a go at trying some of that.

With the transparency in the washes you can build up the effect so that the arcs are darker at the apex.<br /><br />If you add in some veins beforehand the wash will make them look underneath. Alternatively, try sponging in the centre for a bit of random texture, again I'd try some veins first. <br /><br />Better to try and fix it before re-priming afterall there's no texture there to destroy.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.com
