Fur Complete Spent last night finishing the fur on Charlemagne. Here are the colors I ended up using and the blends on my wet palette: My progression, from the Mahogany washed, previous set of layers, was: Mahogany+Burnt Red…
Continued work on Charlemagne’s fur. I worked up from GW Rhinox Hide –> GW Thondia Brown –> Pro Acryl Light Umber. As I was working up the layers, I realized I wasn’t getting the richer, warm brown tones I envisioned…
