It has begun!!!!!
Given the somewhat limited canvas, I will be ranging near and far to realize the envisioned goal. That being said, I intend to work in sections, starting with the face.
There are any number of ways to approach this, depending on your medium of choice. I kept to the tried and true, and "glazed" a thin coat of white acrylic as an uc. After curing that in the oven, I "blocked-in" the teeth with a grisaille of Mussini Casslerbraun, and then did some refining/preli- minary outlining with a blended black (Casslerbraun + UM Blue). Before moving on to the flesh, I basecoated the lips with Cad-Bar Red Deep, thus framing the iconic grin.
Now comes the artistic portion of the exercise. However you choose to approach it, work in thin coats, and blend thoroughly before moving on.
Movin' right along. . .
