Hptm. Walther Karjus--Painting II: Leggings

Planning for the steps to come, next in my sights will be the leather leggings. I had UCed the leggings in a blackish brown, but it was too 'cool' for what I had envisioned. I want to depict a rather scuffed and worn set of leggings; i.e., a warmish black with the underlying leather showing, to varying degrees, throughout. Hence, I lightly basecoated the leggings--in oils!--with a Raw Sienna and Raw Umber Light mix, spot shading with a Raw and Burnt Umber mix. Once that is completely dry, I will lightly glaze with Mars Black and/or a proprietary mix of black.

More to follow!
