It depends by what you mean by "...I do, James. It depends by what you mean by "drastic". This is an experiment, but I think I'll use this mainly for flesh and light tones.<br /><br />I use a home-made shading varnish that I make combining clear varnish with some pre-made tint to mix the preferred shade. If you look at the Westphalians, they sport the home-made varnish. Click the varnish label in the sidebar for the recipe post.<br /><br />Personally, I think figures look flat without a little shading, and as I'm too lazy/not skilled enough to paint layers of different shades, I prefer the varnish route. It's not for everyone, I know, but that's my preference.<br /><br />I'll highlight the belts on this trooper and maybe some of the detail, but I'm quite happy with it.Ben Gilmourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548280904041987733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652852907403338532.post-70622312354996330542012-05-01T07:50:49.045+10:002012-05-01T07:50:49.045+10:00That is a very nice effect and so much better than...That is a very nice effect and so much better than AP's products.

I am wondering about going back to using a diluted black ink to try to bring out detail in epaulettes and the like, but I'm not sure...James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.com
