Hey I totally love the paint job, want to start it tomorrow but I got a question. How do you do the backsite reflexions and the side view so that it doesn't look awkward? Do you take a pic from every site or just from the front and the back? :)

I think its all about the contrast - if you have shaded the "naturally shaded" areas dark enough, you dont need to make the highlights that bright. So its finding the balance between the darker & brighter areas on the model - in this case i have added secondary light reflections, wich also give the brighter areas more power, in some way :)

2021-03-04 08:56:54 +0000 UTCHow do you go about not picking such bright highlights? I have recently got into a more 'Grimdark' style, but i think i am taking the values to far. Any tips?
