I think that it’s not useful to present here this great character of “The Hobbit” !
some pictures would be enough![img align=c]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nZ9W7yZjoR0/UL-z1LYRCFI/AAAAAAAAAco/nPvIIA_ZnHw/s400/BARD01.JPG[/img]

thanks, I’ll have a look (!!!) at this strange eye …(you have good eyes, certainly better than my old ones!
)1-Many thanks to you !
2-Master Elroi: special thanks for your comments and your constructive advices!
I’m a “young” painter (but an old guy
) and since I’d begun, I’ve always tried to improve.
The shading is one of the point that I’m working, but I’ve seen too much painted figures with “over-shading” that I don’t like.
I try to imagine how the light is supposed to go on the figure and try to give the effects that it could do really.
Even if sometimes ( some large ranges of 1/72 figures for example ) I use Citadel washes to work faster,
when I paint a 28/32 mm single figure, like this one, I work differently, just with paint.
It’s a little bit more difficult and “time-eater” (?), but gives me another pleasure.
I’m exigent with the colours because I think that it’s important for the final result.For the eyes, usually, I don’t paint them but with figures on this scale, I’ve tried to do.
The result is not completely satisfying, you’re right, but who never try, never succeed !I’ve just finished the Great Goblin* (a little bit against the “Star Wars-Jabba the Hut-Great Goblin” of “The Hobbit-Movie”!
),
fortunately, he don’t have eyes which must to be painted 😆….Well, sometimes, I’m a little wordy, I stop my blablabla!

The ambition for improving is one of the keys to achieve better and better results in every miniature painted (other is to search lot of information: tutorials, videos, step by step processes, etc

You can obtain a very bright miniature and a high contrast at the same time. Are different things
Sam Wise wrote:I try to imagine how the light is supposed to go on the figure and try to give the effects that it could do really.One tip to this: just use an artificial ligh (led, traditional bulb) very close of the miniature, in the direction you want the light. Take a picture of it and you will have a very useful and visual guide to paint

It’s a little bit more difficult and “time-eater” (?), but gives me another pleasure.The washes are useful for some things but, in general, you can obtain very better results working with paint. Obviously, you have to spend a little more time
Sam Wise wrote:I’m exigent with the colours because I think that it’s important for the final result.Absolutely agree, it´s important to have a previous idea of the “final aspect” of the mini before starting to paint
